About this map

The National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska dominates this landscape, showing a vast wilderness of the North Slope in the early 1980s. The northern reaches are characterized by the Kuna River and the prominent Monument Ridge, which stretches across the central portion of the quadrangle. This topography illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the arctic tundra, where numerous named tributaries such as Cutaway Creek, Lost Temper Creek, and Cula Creek carve through the high ground. To the south, the terrain becomes more defined with notable elevations including Mount Bupto, Rim Butte, and the distinctively named Pimple Peak. The map provides a precise record of these landforms before significant modern changes, tracing watercourses like Bushy Creek and Crassico Creek as they navigate the ridges and valleys of this remote region.
