1984 Map of Howard Pass A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Howard Pass sits at the northern edge of the Noatak National Preserve in the early 1980s, marking a significant boundary between the North Slope Borough and the protected lands to the south. This remote arctic landscape is defined by its massive drainage systems and topographical shifts, where the Aniuk River and Etivluk River carve paths through the tundra toward the Howard Hills. The map details the administrative overlap of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska and the Noatak Wilderness, illustrating the complex management of public lands in the Brooks Range. Notable peaks such as Likhkluk Mountain and Rough Mountain overlook a network of seasonal waters including Flora Creek, Fauna Creek, and several significant lakes like Akuliak Lake and Nigtun Lake, which dot the northern plains.
