2020 Map of Teshekpuk C-3 NE

About this map

Ikpikpuk River and the Miguakiak River define the intricate hydrology of the North Slope in this 2020 topographic study. The landscape is characterized by an expansive network of wetlands and small water bodies typical of the Arctic coastal plain, where the drainage patterns of these two major rivers intersect. The absence of settlements or man-made infrastructure on the map reflects the undisturbed nature of this region within the t16n r10w and t15n r9w township blocks. For those studying the environmental history or indigenous land use patterns of Northern Alaska, this survey provides a precise record of the shoreline and waterway positions as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
