2020 Map of Teshekpuk C-4 NW

About this map

The Alaktak River meanders through a landscape defined by an immense network of thaw lakes and wetlands on Alaska's North Slope. This 2020 topographic map reveals a delicate hydrographic pattern where land and water are nearly inseparable, characteristic of the Arctic coastal plain. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System, including t16n r14w, t16n r13w, t15n r14w, and t15n r13w, showing how this remote region is partitioned for administrative and resource management. The lack of built infrastructure or named settlements underscores the isolation of this environment, where the shifting course of the river remains the primary geographic landmark.
