About this map

The Anaktuvuk River flows through this North Slope landscape, carving a wide valley floor as it moves north. This topographic study reveals the dramatic transition between the braided river plain and the high, rising terrain of the Brooks Range foothills. To the south, the elevation climbs steeply toward the crest of Rooftop Ridge, a prominent landform that dominates the lower half of the quadrangle. Tucked between these high points is the Racetrack Basin, a distinctive natural depression that illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the region. The map is organized by the township and range lines of t5s r4e, t5s r5e, t6s r4e, and t6s r5e, providing a precise grid for modern environmental study or land management in this arctic wilderness.
