2013 Map of Teshekpuk C-1 SE

About this map

Teshekpuk Lake dominates the northern landscape of this North Slope quadrangle, where the massive water body meets a complex network of thermokarst lakes and coastal wetlands. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the winding path of Kealok Creek, which meanders through a landscape defined by an intricate puzzle of tundra ponds. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the Alaska coast during the early 21st century, illustrating the fragile interface between the vast inland lake and the numerous smaller water bodies that characterize this sub-arctic terrain. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the environmental character of this portion of the North Slope Borough.
