Anaktuvuk Pass serves as the primary focal point of this Brooks Range survey, situated at a critical continental divide. The community is oriented around the Anaktuvuk Pass Airport and connected by local thoroughfares including Main Street and Success Road. The surrounding landscape is defined by its transition between protected wilderness areas, with a significant portion of the terrain falling within Gates of the Arctic National Park and the John Wild and Scenic River corridor. The hydrology of the area is complex, featuring the north-flowing Anaktuvuk River and south-flowing John River. Notable peaks such as Ingstad Mtn and Napakualuit Mtn flank the pass, while numerous alpine water bodies like Napakualuit Lake and Cache Lake dot the valleys. The map documents the high-latitude infrastructure of the Anaktuvuk Pass Highway as it navigates this remote interior passage.
