The Colville River meanders across this Arctic landscape, creating a complex network of oxbow lakes, ponds, and wetlands within the North Slope Borough. This 2013 survey illustrates the dramatic fluvial geomorphology of the region, where the river's shifting course has left behind numerous unnamed water bodies and saturated tundra. The presence of section lines from the Public Land Survey System, including Township 4 North and Township 3 North, provides a precise grid for localizing specific geographic points within this vast, roadless expanse. The intricate patterns of the hydrography reflect a landscape dominated by permafrost and seasonal water movement, offering researchers a detailed record of the river's path before further natural shifts occur.
