1971 Map of Chandler Lake A-3

About this map

Anaktuvuk Pass serves as the central focal point of this high-latitude survey, marking a critical breach in the Continental Divide where the Anaktuvuk River begins its northern descent. The landscape is defined by the logistics of Arctic survival and travel, evidenced by the Winter Road and a Landing Strip near the local settlements. Cultural markers are concentrated at Anaktuvuk North Base and Anaktuvuk South Base, which sit near Eleanor Lake and a small Cem. The surrounding territory, largely protected within Gates of the Arctic National Park, features prominent peaks like Mount Stuver and Napaktualuit Mountain. The drainage patterns of Anivik Creek and Akvatutak Creek illustrate the complex hydrology of the North Slope's mountain valleys during the early 1970s.
