About this map

The Kuparik River carves a winding path across this portion of the North Slope, defining a landscape of Arctic tundra and complex hydrology. This remote stretch of terrain is characterized by an intricate network of thaw lakes and wetlands, typical of the permafrost-underlain regions north of the Brooks Range. The topographical data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals the subtle elevations and drainage patterns that govern the flow of the Kuparik River as it moves through the expansive coastal plain.

While largely devoid of permanent human settlements or structures, the map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t1s r8e, t1s r9e, t2s r8e, and t2s r9e. These township and range designations offer the primary framework for locating specific points within this vast, roadless expanse, serving as the fundamental reference for land management and mineral exploration in this high-latitude environment.
