1983 Map of Arctic D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Continental Divide serpentines through this high-latitude terrain, marking the hydrological boundary where mountain waters begin their long journeys to separate oceans. In this unroaded expanse within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the landscape is defined by the sharp relief of the Brooks Range and the glacial pathways of the East Fork Chandalar River. Historically significant for its absence of permanent settlements, the region is crossed only by natural features such as Guilbeau Pass. The inclusion of the Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness designation reflects the formal protection of this environment during the early 1980s, providing a look at one of the most intact ecosystems in North America through the lens of a provisional U.S. Geological Survey topographic study.
