1990 Map of Ambler River B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park and the adjacent Gates of the Arctic Wilderness dominate this Arctic landscape in the Brooks Range. This 1990 provisional survey documents a roadless wilderness defined by intricate drainage networks and high-elevation passes. Shishakshinovik Pass serves as a notable landmark amidst the complex topography of the central map area. The hydrology is centered on the southward-flowing Kogoluktuk River, which is joined by numerous tributaries including Kutarlak Creek and the Igning River. To the northwest, the Ipneiliuik River and Utaneak Creek carve through the terrain. This map reflects the state of the Northwest Arctic region a decade after the establishment of the national park, showing a landscape entirely devoid of roads or permanent settlements, where travel remains dictated by river valleys and mountain gaps.
