1984 Map of Howard Pass B-1

About this map

The National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska dominates this high-latitude terrain, where the Nigu River flows north through a landscape defined by significant elevation changes. The southern portion of the map is marked by the Howard Hills and the prominent Kivliktort Mountain, while the Nigu Hills rise to the west. This 1984 edition serves as a record of the remote North Slope Borough before modern infrastructure, showing the intersection of the South Boundary Umiat Meridian and the North Boundary Kateel River Meridian. Water features such as Lake Betty and the Etiuluk River are notable landmarks in this Arctic region, providing essential orientation points in a territory devoid of roads or permanent settlements at the time of the survey.
