2013 Map of Umiat C-4 NE

About this map

Kogosukruk River meanders across this Arctic landscape, carving a deep, winding channel through the North Slope tundra. The river's drainage basin, supported by smaller tributaries like Henry Cr, is characterized by a dense network of thaw lakes and ponds that dominate the northern sections of the map. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex hydrology typical of the region, where seasonal permafrost cycles shape the shifting placement of standing water and stream beds. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the environmental character of the borough, defined by the slow migration of the river system through the low-lying terrain. Collectors of contemporary Alaskan topographies will find this a clear record of the watershed and its physical boundaries, including the township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System.
