2018 Map of Arctic A-4 NW

About this map

Ottertail Cr winds through this high-latitude terrain of the North Slope, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Alaskan wilderness. The map focuses on a remote sector of the Arctic, dominated by significant elevation changes and the headwaters of small stream systems. In the southern portion, Crow Nest Creek provides another primary hydrologic feature within this undeveloped landscape. This 2018 survey reveals the topographical isolation of the region, where the primary organizational markers are the Public Land Survey System grids, such as t14s r25e and t15s r26e, rather than roads or settlements. The lack of human infrastructure emphasizes the map's value for understanding the natural geography of the Brooks Range foothills before any modern industrial or transit corridors were established.
