2017 Map of Umiat D-1 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Arctic landscape of the North Slope appears as a mosaic of wetlands and tundra in this 2017 survey. Defined largely by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of T6n R6e, T6n R7e, T5n R6e, and T5n R7e, the terrain is characterized by numerous small lakes and ponds typical of the permafrost-underlain region. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the remote, undeveloped character of the North Slope Borough during the early 21st century. This map focuses on the complex hydrology of the coastal plain, where seasonal changes and shifting drainage patterns are a primary geographical force. The grid divisions provide the only structural landmarks across this nearly featureless stretch of wilderness.
