2017 Map of Chandler Lake A-1 NW

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Preserve and Gates of the Arctic National Park meet in this 2017 survey of the Brooks Range. The landscape is defined by extreme relief, where steep mountain ridges and high-altitude basins are mapped with eighty-foot contour intervals. This quadrangle captures the administrative boundary between the park and the preserve within the North Slope Borough, illustrating the vast wilderness management zones established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. Aside from the township and range identifiers, such as t14s r7e, the map shows a total absence of human infrastructure, highlighting the preserved state of this arctic environment. It serves as a definitive look at the natural drainage patterns and topographical features of the Chandler Lake region before any modern encroachment.
