About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses the entirety of this interior landscape, preserving a wilderness where natural water systems dictate the geography. The drainage patterns are defined by the John River and the braided reaches of Ekokpuk Creek, which meander through the southern flats. The transition from high-elevation ridgelines in the north to the broader valley floors is marked by several seasonal and permanent watercourses, including Masu Cr and Kollutarak Creek. This modern survey captures the region's hydrography and elevation contours with precision, showing a landscape devoid of human settlements or road infrastructure, typical of the Brooks Range's protected wilderness areas. The map provides a baseline for understanding the drainage basins of the Ekokpuk Cr and its tributaries within the Arctic's high-latitude environment.
