About this map

Smith Mtn and Kingak Mtn dominate the northern landscape of this North Slope interior region, rising above a high-altitude terrain defined by glacial features and drainage patterns. The northern edge of the sheet is marked by the Smith Mountain Lakes, a collection of alpine water bodies that drain southward into the Medial Cr system. This area, largely untouched by infrastructure or permanent settlement, is documented here through precise elevation contouring that reveals the complex structure of the Brooks Range foothills. The map provides a detailed record of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including Township 8 South, Range 20 West, which help orient researchers to specific land blocks in this wilderness environment.
