1983 Map of Arctic D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the entirety of this 1980s landscape, illustrating a preserved wilderness within the Alaska North Slope Borough. The topographic detail focuses on the drainage of the Marsh Fork Canning River, which winds north through steep mountainous terrain. This provisional study, compiled from 1974 photography, provides a record of the river's braided channels and the surrounding high-elevation peaks before any modern infrastructure touched the area. The absence of roads, settlements, or structures emphasizes the primitive state of the Brooks Range during this period, leaving only the natural hydrography and elevation contours to define the geography.
