2017 Map of Umiat A-2 NE

About this map

The Nanushuk River winds through the southwestern corner of this North Slope landscape, providing the primary hydrological landmark in an area otherwise defined by a complex network of unnamed lakes and wetlands. Surveyed in 2017, this portion of the Arctic coastal plain is organized by the Public Land Survey System, spanning townships including T2s R5e, T3s R5e, and T4s R5e. The terrain character is revealed through tight contour intervals that trace the subtle elevation changes of the tundra and the drainage patterns feeding into the river system. While devoid of modern roads or permanent settlements, the map records the fundamental geography of the North Slope Borough, illustrating the natural state of the Alaskan interior before any significant infrastructure development reached this specific quadrant.
