1983 Map of Arctic D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Continental Divide traverses this remote section of the Brooks Range, marking the literal watershed between the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific drainage. This 1983 survey records a landscape shaped by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, depicting the expansive Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the dedicated Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness. Glacial valleys and steep mountain slopes define the hydrology, with the northward-flowing Canning River contrasting against the headwaters of the East Fork Chandalar River in the south. The placement of the Wilderness Boundary and the proximity of Red Sheep Creek highlight the administrative and natural borders of one of the nation's most significant conservation areas during the early 1980s.
