2016 Map of Howard Pass D-5 SE

About this map

Kiliqua River carves a winding path through this portion of the North Slope, serving as the central drainage for a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes. To the east, the prominent Liberator Ridge rises above the surrounding basin, a distinctive upland feature in this remote Arctic environment. The drainage network is further defined by several tributaries, including Jubilee Creek, Panic Cr, and Striden Cr, which feed into the primary river system. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate hydrography of the region, where seasonal flow and topographic relief dictate the movement of water across the tundra. The absence of roads or established settlements underscores the wilderness character of the Howard Pass area, where natural landforms remain the primary markers for navigation and study.
