1951 Map of Howard Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Howard Hills and the central northern slopes of the Brooks Range define this high-latitude survey, conducted during a period of intense federal interest in Arctic resources. Much of the northern territory is encompassed by the Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4, reflecting the strategic energy priorities of the early Cold War era. The drainage patterns are meticulously documented, showing the headwaters of the Colville River and the Noatak River flowing in opposite directions from the continental divide.
