2020 Map of Teshekpuk C-5 SW

About this map

The Topagoruk River meanders through this Arctic coastal plain landscape, defining a complex network of wetlands and tundra in the North Slope. This 2020 survey illustrates the characteristic thermokarst topography of the region, where the river's sinuous path shifts across a surface dominated by numerous small, unnamed water bodies and saturated ground. The area is partitioned by several township and range lines, including T15n R16w, T14n R16w, and T13n R15w, indicating the administrative grid of the Public Land Survey System in this undeveloped territory. Without roads or permanent settlements, the map focuses on the delicate hydrography and elevation data essential for navigating and studying this sensitive environment.
