2020 Map of Teshekpuk D-4 SW

About this map

Alaktak River meanders across this Arctic landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies characteristic of the North Slope. This 2020 survey records a vast expanse of the coastal plain defined by hydrological shifts rather than permanent settlement. While the terrain is largely dominated by unnamed ponds, Pittatukruak Lake stands out as a major landmark in the western portion of the quadrangle. In the southwestern corner, the Chipp River makes a brief appearance, cutting through a low-lying region where drainage patterns shift with the seasons. The map illustrates a strictly natural environment, where the lack of roads or structures emphasizes the remote character of the borough's interior waterways.
