2017 Map of Umiat C-1 SW

About this map

The vast expanse of the North Slope's arctic wetlands is documented in this 2017 survey, revealing a landscape dominated by complex hydrography and seasonal inundation. The area is defined by the intersections of T3n R6e, T3n R7e, T2n R6e, and T2n R7e, representing a remote segment of the Public Land Survey System in northern Alaska. While the map is sparse in terms of permanent settlements or man-made structures, the intricate network of lakes and drainage patterns provides critical data for understanding the terrain of the borough. The imagery and hydrography datasets captured between 2002 and 2016 illustrate the shifting nature of these wetlands, which are essential for environmental researchers and those tracking land usage in this part of the state.
