2016 Map of Utukok River B-5 SE

About this map

The Kokolik River winds through this expanse of the North Slope, carving a serpentine path across the Arctic tundra. This 2016 survey provides a precise look at the river's complex hydrology, illustrating numerous oxbows, seasonal side channels, and the surrounding low-relief terrain defined by permafrost-driven landscapes. The area is divided into several townships, including t1s r40w and t2s r40w, reflecting the vast Public Land Survey System grid that governs this part of Alaska. While no permanent settlements are recorded on this specific sheet, the map serves as a detailed record of the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours that define the western Arctic coastal plain before any modern industrial or infrastructure development.
