2016 Map of Umiat A-4 SE

About this map

The Chandler River carves a winding path through this portion of the North Slope, creating the distinctive topographic feature known as Big Bend. This 2016 survey captures the austere geometry of the Arctic landscape where the river meanders across wide, sediment-filled flats before meeting rising terrain. The lack of named settlements or roads emphasizes the isolation of this region within the North Slope Borough, where the primary markers are the surveying boundaries of T4s R1w, T4s R1e, T5s R1w, and T5s R1e. The intricate contour lines reveal the subtle elevation changes and drainage patterns that characterize this remote watershed, providing a foundation for understanding the natural movement of water across this sub-Arctic environment.
