2016 Map of Chandler Lake B-4 SW

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses the majority of this North Slope terrain, where the topographic relief is defined by the drainage systems of the Siksikpuk River and Encampment Cr. The landscape is a complex network of high-elevation ridgelines and deep glacial valleys that characterize the central Brooks Range. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate hydrology of the region, where numerous unnamed tributaries feed into the Siksikpuk River as it flows northward toward the Arctic coastal plain. The map's detail is focused on these natural features and the established boundaries of the national park, rather than human settlement or infrastructure, reflecting the wilderness character of the Alaska interior. Detailed township and range lines, such as t13s r1w and t13s r2w, provide the primary spatial framework for navigating this roadless environment.
