2017 Map of Howard Pass D-4 NE

About this map

Colville River flows across the northern expanse of this Arctic landscape, carving a wide valley through the remote interior of the North Slope. The terrain is dominated by the prominent rise of Etigonik Mtn, which serves as a significant topographical landmark in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of tundra and intricate drainage patterns. This 2017 survey details the undeveloped wilderness of the Brooks Range foothills, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the isolation of the region. The map provides a precise view of the braided river channels and the surrounding high ground, documenting the natural state of this northern frontier for researchers and those interested in one of the most secluded parts of Alaska.
