2013 Map of Umiat C-4 SW

About this map

Kogosukruk River defines the drainage of this Arctic landscape on the North Slope, weaving through a complex network of seasonal lakes and wetlands. The river's primary channel and the Br of Kogosukruk River demonstrate the characteristic meandering patterns of the region's permafrost-influenced hydrology. While devoid of named settlements or infrastructure, the map reveals the intricate topography of the tundra, where subtle elevation changes of only a few feet dictate the location of water bodies and drainage paths across the R 2 W and R 1 W township lines. This 2013 survey serves as a precise baseline for the shifting hydrography of the Alaskan interior, documenting the specific configuration of the river branches before the influence of seasonal thaw and erosion further alters their course.
