2014 Map of Utukok River D-4 NE

About this map

Avak River meanders across this northern landscape, following a shifting course through the remote terrain of the North Slope. This 2014 survey captures the hydrological patterns of the river as it winds through sections of t7n r37w and t7n r36w, illustrating the subtle elevation changes of the Arctic coastal plain. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the undisturbed character of this environment, where land management is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of the t8n r37w and t6n r36w townships. For those studying the geography of Northern Alaska, the map provides a precise look at the drainage systems and topographic contours that dictate the seasonal flow of water toward the coast.
