2016 Map of Umiat A-4 NW

About this map

Nakaktuk Lakes sit within a high-latitude drainage basin in the North Slope Borough, where the shifting hydrology of the Arctic coastal plain is documented. The Kutchik River winds through the landscape, showing its characteristic braided and meandering patterns across the township boundaries of t2s r2w, t3s r2w, and t4s r2w. This topography provides a clear look at the surface water features and elevation contours of the region as they were recorded in the early twenty-first century. The map serves as a primary source for identifying the exact positioning of these remote water bodies and the drainage network of the Arctic slope before further environmental changes might alter their course.
