About this map

Anaktuvuk River dominates this section of the Arctic landscape, carving a wide path northward through the North Slope. The river's braided channels and wide alluvial plains characterize the central terrain, bordered by the subtle elevations of the surrounding tundra. In the northwest corner, the Tuluga River flows through more confined valleys before eventually joining the larger watershed. This map captures the hydrography of the region in the early 21st century, showing the intricate network of lakes and seasonal wetlands that define the landscape between the t4s r4e and t5s r5e township boundaries. The lack of any man-made structures or roads emphasizes the isolation of this portion of the borough, where the shifting riverbeds are the most prominent geographical markers.
