2017 Map of Bettles B-2 NE

About this map

The Alaska Pipeline carves a distinct path through this northern interior landscape, running parallel to the vital transit artery of the Dalton Highway. This infrastructure represents the late-twentieth-century industrialization of the Arctic, cutting across a terrain otherwise defined by the winding course of the Kanuti River. The river traverses the center of the sheet, providing a sharp contrast to the geometric precision of the adjacent energy corridor. In the southern portion of the map, the elevation rises toward the prominent slopes of Caribou Mtn, which anchors the local topography. This area, located within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, illustrates the coexistence of remote wilderness and critical modern resource transportation networks in the Alaskan interior.
