About this map

Arctic Village stands as a central point of habitation in this 1950s survey of the northeast Alaska wilderness, situated near the south-central portion of the map. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Brooks Range and the Philip Smith Mountains, with the Continental Divide cresting through the northern reaches. This era represents a period before large-scale modernization, where life and movement followed the natural corridors of the Canning River and the Junjik River.
