2016 Map of Utukok River A-3 NW

About this map

Archimedes Ridge dominates this Arctic landscape, forming a prominent topographical spine across the North Slope. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Utukok River, which cuts through the vast tundra within the Public Land Survey System grids of T2S, T3S, and T4S. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns and elevation changes across the ridge, providing a detailed look at a remote Alaskan interior before modern development or shifting climatic impacts might alter the hydrography. The map serves as a primary record for those studying the physical geography of the region and the specific path of the river as it flows toward the Arctic Ocean.
