2015 Map of Howard Pass C-5 SW

About this map

The De Long Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain within the Noatak National Preserve, showing a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and a network of arterial creeks. The drainage patterns here are distinct, with Rampart Cr and Rolling Pin Cr carving through the northern sections while Stone Ring Cr and Drenchwater Cr wind through the southern peaks. This survey captures a corner of the Arctic wilderness where the absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the natural isolation of the Brooks Range foothills. The distribution of these water bodies, including Buccaneer Cr, provides a clear view of the complex watershed geography in one of the most remote reaches of the North Slope Borough.
