About this map

Naluakruk Lake and Okalik Lake dominate this Arctic coastal landscape, illustrating the intricate network of thaw lakes and wetlands characteristic of the North Slope. These expansive water bodies are situated within a complex system of drainage patterns where the Smith River winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map details the Public Land Survey System grid across multiple townships, including t17n r6w, providing a precise look at the geography of this remote region before modern infrastructure changes. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and the subtle shifts of the coastal plain, offering a clear record of the area's natural hydrology and late 20th-century boundary designations.
