2020 Map of Howard Pass D-2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2020

About this map

The Colville River meanders across the southern portion of this high-latitude terrain, marking a significant hydrologic corridor in the North Slope region. This 2020 survey illustrates the vast, unpopulated character of the Arctic tundra, where the landscape is defined by topographic relief and seasonal drainage rather than human infrastructure. Near the center of the sheet, the Okroknakpak Lakes sit within a wide glacial valley, their positioning offering an important waypoint for those navigating the backcountry. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the isolation of this environment, where the Public Land Survey System grids, including t5s r22w and t6s r21w, serve as the primary references for land management and scientific study in a region otherwise devoid of built landmarks.
