2016 Map of Utukok River B-1 SW

About this map

Carbon Creek meanders through the heart of this North Slope terrain, defining the drainage patterns of the Utukok River B-1 SW quadrangle. The map documents a remote stretch of the Alaskan wilderness where the landscape is characterized by intricate contour lines and a dense network of wetlands, as recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey through data collected between 1950 and 2016. This 2016 edition provides a modern topographic baseline for the region, illustrating the transition between different Public Land Survey System townships, including t1s r32w, t1s r31w, t2s r32w, and t2s r31w. The lack of named human settlements or roads emphasizes the isolation of the Arctic coastal plain, where geographic study remains focused on the natural hydrology and elevation of the permafrost environment.
