2016 Map of Howard Pass C-1 SW

About this map

The confluence of high-latitude waterways and prominent arctic landforms takes center stage in this 2016 survey of the North Slope. The Etivluk River meanders across the eastern half of the map, fed by the Nigu River which cuts through the southern reaches. These drainage patterns are defined by significant elevations, most notably the high ground of Lisburne Ridge in the northwest and Puvakrat Mtn further south. The landscape is marked by the complex topography of the Brooks Range foothills, where seasonal waters like Tukuto Cr drain into the primary river systems. The lack of any man-made structures or road networks underscores the wilderness character of this remote Alaskan terrain, focusing purely on the hydrologic and geologic features that govern the region.
