2013 Map of Teshekpuk C-5 SW

About this map

Topagoruk River meanders across this northern landscape in the early twenty-first century, forming complex oxbows and secondary channels that define the hydrology of the North Slope. The terrain is characterized by an intricate network of thaw lakes and ponded water, reflecting the unique permafrost-influenced drainage patterns of the region. This 2013 survey documents the land as it appeared within the T 15 N T 14 N and T 14 N T 13 N townships, where the absence of roads or permanent structures emphasizes the environmental continuity of this Arctic tundra zone. The detailed topography illustrates how the river system continuously reshapes the surrounding basin through seasonal cycles.
