2020 Map of Howard Pass C-3 NE

About this map

Monument Ridge stands as a prominent topographical feature in this section of the North Slope, surrounded by a complex system of high-altitude drainages. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several streams, most notably Lost Temper Cr in the west and Cula Cr to the east. These watercourses navigate through a series of steep contours and high points, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of the Arctic interior. The map illustrates a remote wilderness defined by its physical geography rather than human infrastructure, as evidenced by the lack of roads or established settlements. Researchers of the region's physical geography can trace the precise flow of the minor tributaries that feed into these larger creek systems within the Howard Pass area.
