2014 Map of Utukok River D-1 NW

About this map

Ketik River meanders extensively through this 2014 survey of the North Slope, creating a complex network of oxbows and river bends across the landscape. The river flows generally northward, cutting through terrain defined by public land survey boundaries including t7n r31w and t7n r30w. The mapping, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, uses high-resolution data to document the subtle elevation changes and hydrological patterns of this Arctic environment. Without roads or permanent settlements, the area is defined entirely by its natural watercourses and the legal grid of the Public Land Survey System, providing a baseline for environmental study or navigation in one of the most northern reaches of the United States.
