The Avalik River meanders across this Arctic landscape, defining the hydrology of the North Slope in the early 21st century. This region is characterized by a low-lying, complex drainage system where Avalitkok Cr joins the larger river system amidst a vast network of thaw lakes and tundra. The survey captures the intricate paths of Napanik Cr as it flows northward through the township boundaries of T8N R29W and T9N R29W. This area represents the remote interior of the North Slope Borough, where the absence of roads and permanent settlements reflects the preservation of the traditional landscape. The mapping provides a precise record of the shifting riverbanks and small-scale relief in a territory governed by seasonal changes and permafrost conditions.
