2013 Map of Teshekpuk C-2 SE

About this map

Teshekpuk Lake dominates this Arctic coastal plain landscape, where the vast expanse of water and seasonal wetlands define the geography. The survey depicts a segment of the North Slope's complex hydrological system, primarily showing the deep reach of the lake into the southern and western portions of the quadrangle. The land is strictly organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines such as T 14 N and R 8 W and R 7 W providing the only terrestrial reference points across the low-lying tundra. This map illustrates the intersection of immense natural water bodies and the administrative grids used to manage one of the most northern reaches of the United States.
