About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Preserve defines the western landscape of this subarctic region, where the Continental Divide cuts through the high ground. The terrain is dominated by the Norutak Hills, a series of elevations that shape the local drainage and topographic character. Flowing through the eastern portion of the map, the Hogatza River serves as a primary geographic landmark, winding through the lowlands and wetlands that separate the surrounding peaks. This 1980s-era survey, based on photography from the early 1970s, captures the area in a state of wilderness preservation. With no roads or trails recorded, the map emphasizes the natural hydrography and elevation contours that have long dictated movement and subsistence in this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
