1971 Map of Chandler Lake A-3

About this map

Anaktuvuk Pass sits at a critical high point along the Continental Divide, serving as a vital inland connection point within the Brooks Range. This 1971 survey highlights the remote logistics of the North Slope, documenting the Landing Strip, the Winter Road, and survey markers like Anaktuvuk North Base and Anaktuvuk South Base. The landscape is defined by the braided path of the Anaktuvuk River and high peaks such as Mount Stuver and Napaktualuit Mountain. Local landmarks like Anivik Lake and the Cem reflect the long-standing human presence in this mountain corridor. Set within the Gates of the Arctic National Park, the map captures the transition between the watershed of the John River and the northern Arctic slope.
