About this map

Bear Creek 1 Airport serves as a remote aviation point in this interior section of the Northwest Arctic Borough, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of high-latitude waterways. The drainage patterns of Bear Cr, Sheridan Cr, and Eagle Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic complexity of the region. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century where aviation infrastructure provides the primary link to more established settlements. Small tributaries like Poplar Cr, Split Cr, and Bob Cr feed the larger basins, while boundaries for townships such as t2n r12w and t3n r11w delineate the vast, unsurveyed public lands typical of the Alaskan interior.
