About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses the southern portion of this Brooks Range landscape, where the headwaters of several drainage systems originate among the high ridges. The hydrologic pattern is defined by northward-flowing streams including Tiglukpuk Cr and Firestone Cr, which carve through the steep topography of the North Slope. These watercourses, along with Confusion Cr and Skimo Cr, illustrate the complex drainage network required to move snowmelt and seasonal rains from the Arctic divide. The lack of man-made structures or improved roads underscores the remote character of this wilderness area, which remains primarily under federal management for conservation and traditional land use.
