2020 Map of Howard Pass C-3 NW

About this map

The Kuna River winds through the western edge of this Arctic landscape, representing a remote stretch of the North Slope in the early twenty-first century. This section of the Howard Pass region is characterized by significant topographic relief, with drainage systems defined by the meandering course of Cutaway Cr. The terrain shifts from the river valley into elevated ridges, offering a detailed view of the natural watercourses that dictate the movement of water across this high-latitude environment. Surveyed boundaries for t8s r25w, t8s r24w, t9s r25w, and t9s r24w provide the primary human-imposed structure on an otherwise vast and unpopulated wilderness. The intricate contour lines illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding into the larger river systems, essential for understanding the seasonal hydrology of the region.
