2017 Map of Umiat A-2 SE

About this map

The Nanushuk River dominates the western portion of this 2017 survey in the North Slope Borough, carving a distinct path through the arctic tundra. The river's meander patterns and adjacent lowlands contrast sharply with the rising elevation found elsewhere on the quadrangle. A primary geographic landmark is the Shale Wall Bluff, which overlooks the river valley and serves as a significant topographical marker in this expansive landscape. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before the more mountainous regions to the south, highlighting the complex drainage systems and natural relief of this remote part of Alaska. While largely devoid of man-made structures, the map captures the untouched character of the North Slope's interior wilderness.
