2016 Map of Chandler Lake B-5 SE

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses the bulk of this northern terrain, where the headwaters and high-altitude drainage systems of the North Slope are documented in sharp detail. The central artery of the landscape is the Chandler River, which flows northward through a glaciated valley floor. This corridor connects several significant alpine water bodies, including White Lake in the north and the expansive Chandler Lake and Little Chandler Lake at the southern edge of the quadrangle. The map reveals the intricate hydrologic pattern of the Brooks Range foothills, specifically the eastern tributaries like Ikagiak Cr that feed into the main river system. This 2016 survey is essential for understanding the protected wilderness boundaries and the natural drainage of one of the most secluded regions in the United States.
