1986 Map of Chandler Lake A-4

About this map

The Continental Divide snake across the high Brooks Range within this remote stretch of the Gates of the Arctic Wilderness. This landscape is defined by its deep river valleys and high peaks, including the prominent Inualurak Mountain and Nunamiut Mountain. The John River flows south through the center of the sheet, fed by a network of drainage systems like Ekokpuk Creek and Kollutarak Creek. The map documents the vast preservation area of the Gates of the Arctic National Park, showing the Wilderness Boundary and the high-elevation terrain where the waters split toward different oceans. Significant landmarks such as Soakpak Mountain and Fork Peak dominate the topography, illustrating the sheer verticality of the North Slope's interior.
