About this map

Gates Of The Arctic National Park encompasses the entirety of this 2016 topographical survey, situated in the remote northern reaches of the Brooks Range. The landscape is dominated by the high-elevation peaks of the Endicott Mountains, which create a complex system of ridgelines and alpine drainage basins. In the northern section, Amiloyak Lake sits within a broad glacial valley, while the southwest is marked by the significant waters of Agiak Lake.

Hydrological patterns here are defined by the Agiak Cr and Ekokpuk Cr, which carve through the steep terrain. This map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t16s r5w and t16s r4w, showing how these vast wilderness areas are gridded for administration even in such a non-settled environment. The absence of roads or structures emphasizes the protected, wild character of the central Brooks Range during the early 21st century.
