2018 Map of Arctic A-5 NW

About this map

The high-elevation landscape of the Smoke Creek drainage dominates this 2018 survey within the North Slope Borough. Located in the northern reaches of the Brooks Range, the terrain is defined by extreme relief and steep drainage basins. Smoke Creek meanders along the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as the primary hydrologic feature for the surrounding mountainous slopes. The map traces the public land survey system through the intersections of Township 14 South, Range 22 East and Township 15 South, Range 23 East, providing a precise record of these remote Alaskan boundaries during the early twenty-first century.
