About this map

Monarch Creek and Candle Creek define the drainage of this interior Alaskan wilderness within the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This topographic study emphasizes the steep, complex terrain of the northern Brooks Range foothills, where elevations rise sharply from the creek beds to over 4,000 feet. The landscape is primarily defined by high-altitude ridgelines and narrow valleys, mapped with 40-foot contour intervals to show the intricate branching of alpine stream systems. There are no marked roads, settlements, or structures, leaving the geography entirely to the natural watercourses and the established Public Land Survey System boundaries, which divide the area into Townships 25, 26, and 27 North across Ranges 3 and 4 West. The map provides a precise look at the raw physical geography of this subarctic environment prior to any modern development or infrastructure.
