2020 Map of Howard Pass A-3 NW

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the southern portion of this landscape, a region defined by high-latitude drainage systems and vast public land management. In this remote section of northern Alaska, the terrain serves as a critical watershed where Fauna Cr flows through the southeastern quadrants. The map illustrates the administrative transition between the North Slope Borough and the Northwest Arctic Borough, a boundary that historically delineates subsistence territories and regional governance in the Brooks Range vicinity. To the north, the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska begins, marking an area of significant geological interest and federal oversight. This 2020 survey provides a detailed look at the township and range lines, including t33n r5e and t32n r6e, which organize this largely untouched wilderness for contemporary resource management.
