About this map

Kungok River dominates the southern landscape of this Arctic expanse, carving a wide path through the marshy lowlands of the North Slope. The terrain is defined by a dense network of thaw lakes and ponds, a characteristic feature of the permafrost environment where drainage is dictated by the subtle shifts in elevation. In the northwest corner, the Sinaruruk River meanders toward the coast, while Amagoalik Cr drains the southwestern reaches. The absence of permanent structures or roads reflects the seasonal nature of the landscape, where travel and land use are tied to the water cycles of these major river systems. This map provides a detailed view of the natural hydrology and township boundaries including t13n r30w and t15n r29w during the early 21st century.
