About this map

The Colville River dominates this Arctic landscape, carving a wide path through the North Slope terrain. The river is flanked by significant geological markers, most notably Shivugak Bluff to the west and Uluksrak Bluff at the northeastern bend. These bluffs represent distinctive elevation gains in an otherwise complex network of braided river channels and alluvial deposits. The survey reflects the remote character of this region within the North Slope Borough, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the reliance on natural waterways for navigation and geography. The mapping of the township and range lines, such as the intersection of T 2 N and R 1 E, provides the primary structural framework for this uninhabited expanse of the Alaskan wilderness.
