About this map

Hydrological patterns and remote wetlands define this North Slope terrain, mapped by the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Geological Survey in the second decade of the 2000s. The landscape is dominated by a dense network of lakes, ponds, and braided watercourses that shift through the tundra of T4n R8e and T4n R9e. The lack of named settlements or permanent road infrastructure emphasizes the isolation of this Arctic environment, where the land is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of T5n R8e and T3n R8e. This survey provides a baseline for studying the intricate wetland distribution and natural topography of the Alaskan interior before modern development or environmental shifts could further alter the shoreline and drainage basins of these unnamed water bodies.
