2017 Map of Umiat A-1 NW

About this map

The Itkillik River winds through the North Slope landscape, carving a braided and shifting course through the permafrost-underlain terrain of the Arctic. This 2017 survey reflects the remote character of the northern frontier, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the dominance of natural hydrology. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries such as t2s r7e and t3s r7e providing the only administrative framework across the tundra. Small lakes and wetlands are scattered throughout the quadrangle, illustrating the complex drainage patterns common to this high-latitude environment.
