2013 Map of Teshekpuk B-4 SW

About this map

The Oumalik River meanders across this Arctic landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and riparian curves in the North Slope's tundra. This remote territory is defined by an immense density of thermokarst lakes and ponds, visible as numerous unnamed water bodies that dominate the terrain between the river's path. While the map is sparse in human infrastructure, the detailed hydrography and elevation contours from the U.S. Geological Survey capture the natural drainage patterns that have shaped the Alaskan wilderness for centuries. The absence of roads or settlements emphasizes the raw environmental state of the region during this early twenty-first-century survey.
