1971 Map of Chandler Lake C-1

About this map

Nanushuk River winds through the high-latitude terrain of Alaska's North Slope, carving a distinct valley through the Brooks Range foothills. This early 1970s survey captures a landscape defined by seasonal movement and topographic extremes, where the Winter Trail provides the primary evidence of human passage across the northern slopes. The map detail is dominated by the massive presence of Arc Mountain, while the drainage networks of May Creek and Cobblestone Creek illustrate the complex hydraulic patterns of the region's arctic watershed.
