2016 Map of Umiat A-5 SW

About this map

Ninuluk Cr and its tributary, the E Fork Ninuluk Cr, meander through the southern reaches of this North Slope landscape, carving deep relief into the tundra. In the northern sections, the drainage of Fossil Cr defines the local topography, which is largely characterized by complex contour patterns and high-latitude drainage systems. This 2016 survey illustrates the remote wilderness of the Arctic, where the environment is shaped entirely by these seasonal watercourses. The lack of any roads, structures, or industrial development underscores the isolation of the territory, which is partitioned into large townships including t4s r4w and t5s r4w. The map provides a precise record of natural drainage patterns and elevation changes across this portion of the borough, reflecting the undisturbed state of the northern Alaskan interior.
