1990 Map of Coleen C-1

About this map

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge dominates this wilderness landscape near the northeastern edge of the United States border. The terrain is defined by extreme relief and isolated peaks such as Barren 3169 and Orphan 2452. Waterways like the Rapid River and the meandering Sunagun Creek provide the only natural pathways through these high-latitude mountains. This map represents a moment in time when the region remained largely undeveloped, with the eastern margin marked by the international boundary between United States Canada and the administrative line separating Alaska Yukon. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the protected status and isolation of this interior arctic environment.
