2020 Map of Teshekpuk C-2 SE

About this map

Teshekpuk Lake dominates the central portion of this North Slope landscape, appearing as a massive body of water in an area defined by low-lying wetland complexes and glacial-era hydrography. The map illustrates the immense scale of the Arctic coastal plain, where the lack of human infrastructure or named settlements emphasizes the purely environmental character of the region. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey using 2009 imagery and 2019 elevation data, the sheet provides a meticulous record of the shoreline and the surrounding public land survey system divisions. The vast stretches of water and marshland depicted here are crucial for understanding the shifting hydrology of Alaska's northernmost reaches.
