2018 Map of Arctic A-5 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2018

About this map

Smoke Creek and its tributary Smoke Cr carve through the high elevations of the North Slope Borough in this 2018 topographic survey. The drainage network follows a southwesterly course, eventually feeding towards the Wind River which flows along the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. This landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where deep valleys separate prominent ridges in a pattern typical of the Brooks Range foothills. The map provides a clear look at the intricate hydrography and elevation contours that dictate the movement of water across this Arctic environment, long before modern infrastructure reached these interior drainages. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness character of the region, emphasizing the primary geographic landmarks used by travelers and researchers traversing the Alaskan interior.
