2015 Map of Umiat D-5 NW

About this map

Arctic tundra and a dense network of thaw lakes define this portion of the North Slope, surveyed as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is organized by the Public Land Survey System, including T8n R4w, T7n R4w, and T6n R4w. This map reveals a terrain where water dominates, showing the intricate shapes of unnamed lakes and the subtle elevation changes characteristic of the region. The absence of named settlements or infrastructure highlights the isolation of this remote borough, where the primary human mark is the invisible grid of the townships. Researchers can observe the natural hydrology and drainage patterns that have shaped this sub-arctic environment, providing a baseline for environmental study and geographic analysis.
