About this map

The Continental Divide defines the hydrological spine of this high-latitude landscape, where the waters of the Northwest Arctic begin their journey toward opposing coasts. This 2017 survey shows a terrain dominated by significant peaks such as Kiwalik Mtn in the south and Monument Mtn in the northwest, punctuating a complex network of drainage basins. The map captures an era of untouched wilderness, where the naming of waterways like Gold Run and First Chance Cr hints at the prospecting history of the Seward Peninsula region.

The drainage patterns are particularly intricate, with Glacier Cr and Quartz Cr cutting through the topographic contours. This sheet provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, such as t2n r17w and t2n r16w, which impose a human grid over the natural flow of Big Bar Cr and Canoe Cr. It is a landscape defined by its remote character and the fundamental geographic barrier of the divide.
