2014 Map of Wainwright A-3 SE

About this map

The Ivisaruk River meanders across this Arctic landscape in the North Slope Borough, carving a complex series of tight oxbows and abandoned channels through the tundra. The water-rich terrain of this 2014 survey is defined by the Natvakrak Lakes in the southwestern quadrant, illustrating the vast, unpopulated drainage systems characteristic of the region. The landscape is mapped according to the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersections of Townships 8 and 9 North across Ranges 33 and 34 West. This remote coastal plain environment remains largely untouched by permanent human settlement or industrial infrastructure, with the hydrological patterns of the river and lakes serving as the primary landmarks for navigation and land management in this portion of Alaska.
