1972 Map of Arctic A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Index Mountain stands as a prominent landmark in this northern interior landscape, part of a territory defined by the remote wilderness of the Arctic Natl Wildlife Range. The drainage of the Koness River meanders through the southwestern section of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Titus Creek and Monument Creek. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by John Franks Cabins near the riverbank, indicating the isolation of this region during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a transitional subarctic environment where unsurveyed land lines were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management along the South Boundary Umiat Meridian. This record captures a moment when few permanent structures existed in the vast northern territory, focusing instead on the hydrography and high-altitude relief that guided early wilderness travelers and government land managers.
