GIS Data from the Alaska North Slope
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS017

Summary
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 (United States Geological Survey digital elevation model
(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. Data is only
available as a single tar.gz file containing all of the files.
