2017 Map of Howard Pass B-4 SE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve occupies the southern half of this interior landscape, marking a transition across the ridgelines of the Brooks Range. To the north, the terrain descends into the southern reaches of the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska, a vast federal land reserve established for its resource potential. The drainage of Story Cr in the northwest corner highlights the headwater systems that define this remote high-altitude region. The map illustrates the topographic complexity of the Howard Pass area, where public land boundaries intersect amidst a network of unnamed peaks and valleys that separate the Noatak and Colville river watersheds.
