The Ikpikpuk River and its braided tributaries define this portion of the North Slope, revealing a landscape dominated by Arctic hydrology in the early twenty-first century. As the river systems migrate across the low-lying terrain, they leave behind a complex network of thaw lakes and ephemeral channels. The Chipp River and Oumalik River intersect this area, showing the intricate drainage patterns characteristic of the region. This 2013 survey provides a detailed record of the shifting water bodies and river alignments, which are vital for understanding environmental change and navigating the remote northern coastal plain.
