Documentation Access Data
This data set includes ArcInfo-formatted maps of the Kuparuk River
Basin Region of the Alaskan North Slope (at 1:250,000 scale) and five
subset study areas: the Upper Kuparuk River Basin Subregion
(1:25,000), the Imnavait Creek Landscape (1:6,000), the Toolik Lake
Landscape (1:5,000), the Imnavait Creek Grid (1:500), and the Toolik
Lake Grid (1:500). Land cover (satellite-derived) and elevation data (USGS DEM-derived)
are provided for the Kuparuk River Basin Region. For the five subset
areas, an integrated terrain unit mapping (ITUM) approach simultaneously mapped vegetation and other terrain features as
interpreted in the field from a common aerial-photograph base. The
result is a single ITUM map for each area, including vegetation,
geomorphology, glacial geology, and many other features. Various
supplemental maps (e.g., hydrologic features and roads) for each of
the areas are available for use as overlays.
