2014 Map of Utukok River D-4 SW

About this map

The Utukok River dominates this northern Alaskan landscape, carving a serpentine path through the Arctic coastal plain. This 2014 survey captures a remote wilderness characterized by complex braided watercourses and numerous small thermokarst lakes scattered across the tundra. Defined by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t6n r38w, t6n r37w, t5n r38w, and t5n r37w, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by seasonal water movement. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the isolation of this North Slope region, where the terrain is dictated by the subtle elevation changes of the river valley and the underlying permafrost.
