About this map

Gates Of The Arctic National Park encompasses the majority of this Alaskan wilderness, where the high ridges of the Brooks Range drop toward the river valleys. The topography is defined by significant elevations, including the prominent peak of Blind Pass Mtn, which stands as a landmark in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Drainage patterns are shaped by several major waterways that cut through the mountain passes and tundra, most notably the Ipneivik River as it flows south through the eastern half of the sheet.

Remote and largely untouched, the landscape shows no signs of permanent human settlement or modern infrastructure. The hydrology is further defined by the Ambler River in the northwest and Ulaneak Cr, which traverses the southern section. This survey captures a moment in the mid-2010s within one of the most secluded regions of the American North, illustrating the complex relief and protected watersheds that characterize this arctic environment.
