2020 Map of Teshekpuk B-2 NW

About this map

The North Slope's hydrological complexity is on full display in this 2020 survey, dominated by the intricate network of water bodies leading toward the northwestern reaches of Teshekpuk Lake. This landscape is defined by its saturated terrain, where an endless series of thaw lakes and ponds create a labyrinthine pattern across the Arctic coastal plain. The map provides a precise look at the township and range lines, specifically T13n R9w, T13n R8w, T12n R9w, and T12n R8w, which serve as the primary markers in this uninhabited expanse. Without settlements or roads, the topography focuses entirely on the natural drainage and the shifting margins of the water, offering an essential view of the region's environmental character as it appeared in the early 21st century.
