2016 Map of Utukok River A-3 NE

About this map

Utukok River dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its braided channels and wide gravel bars cutting through the vast arctic coastal plain of the North Slope. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey with data from the Alaska Department of Transportation and Bureau of Land Management, the map illustrates a terrain of extreme isolation and geological precision. The southern portion of the sheet rises into the Foothills, where the elevation reaches over 1,800 feet, providing a stark contrast to the low-lying river valley to the north. This area, delineated by township and range boundaries such as t2s r35w and t4s r35w, remains largely undeveloped, serving as a vital corridor for natural drainage and migratory routes across the remote tundra.
