About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge dominates this interior Alaska landscape, as recorded in a 1990 provisional study. The terrain is defined by the massive profile of Keche Mountain and the winding course of the Wind River as it flows south through the central corridor. Established boundaries from the 1980 Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act are integrated here, mapping a wilderness devoid of roads or settlements. High-elevation features like Big Ram Lake and the headwaters of Smoke Creek are documented through aerial photography from the 1970s and 1980, providing a precise topographic record of this protected subarctic environment before the close of the twentieth century.
