2014 Map of Utukok River C-3 NE

About this map

Kaolak River meanders across this northern landscape, serving as the central geographic feature of the Utukok River C-3 NE region. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns and subtle elevation shifts of the North Slope at the beginning of the 21st century. The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid defines the administrative organization of the area, noting boundaries for townships such as t5n r34w, t4n r34w, and t3n r34w. This topography reflects the characteristic permafrost-influenced terrain, where the river's path is the primary indicator of the natural flow and low-lying basins. The absence of modern roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness character of the Alaska North Slope Borough as it remained into the 2010s.
