2016 Map of Chandler Lake B-3 SW

About this map

Gates Of The Arctic National Park encompasses the southern portion of this interior Alaska survey, where the Brooks Range landscape transitions into high-altitude drainage systems. The northern reaches are dominated by Natvakruak Lake and the smaller Makatuk Lake, which serve as critical water sources in an otherwise high-relief environment. Steep elevations are anchored by Nasaurak Mtn, overlooking a network of seasonal watercourses like Akmagolik Cr and Natvakruak Cr. The presence of the Anaktuvuk River on the eastern edge of the quadrangle suggests the natural corridor used for millennia by indigenous travelers and wildlife. This 2016 data represents a contemporary look at a wilderness area that remains largely unchanged by permanent human infrastructure, highlighting the preservation of Arctic watershed patterns.
