2014 Map of Wainwright C-1 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
The Kugrua River winds through this Arctic coastal plain in a complex series of tight meanders and oxbow lakes, illustrating the dynamic hydrology of the North Slope. This landscape is characterized by its low-lying topography and thousands of small, unmapped thaw lakes that dominate the terrain between the primary watercourses. Apart from the main channel of the river, Avgunun Cr enters the northwestern corner of the quadrangle, draining a region shaped by seasonal permafrost cycles. The lack of man-made structures or improved roads underscores the isolation of this environment, where the natural drainage patterns of the Kugrua River remain the most significant geographical markers for navigation and land use study.
