2016 Map of Howard Pass B-1 SW

About this map

Kivliktort Mtn and the Howard Hills dominate this high-latitude terrain within Alaska’s North Slope Borough. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Nigu River, which cuts through the northeastern and southern portions of the quadrangle. This 2016 survey highlights a remote wilderness where land divisions such as t34n r10e and t33n r11e underscore the vast scale of the American Arctic. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the region's character as a frontier of geological and hydrological study, where the drainage patterns of the river system interact with the stark elevations of the Brooks Range foothills.
