1983 Map of Arctic D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Continental Divide cuts through this remote northern landscape, marking the hydrological crest of the Brooks Range where water begins its long descent toward either the Yukon basin or the Arctic Ocean. Published in the early 1980s, this survey focuses on the pristine protected lands of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness. The topographical detail reveals the complex drainages of the East Fork Chandalar River and the main Chandalar River, which snake through the valley floors beneath high mountain ridges. This sheet highlights critical geographic waypoints like Guilbeau Pass, providing a technical view of a region defined by its lack of human infrastructure and its intact natural systems during a period of increasing federal land management in Alaska.
