About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Preserve anchors this interior Alaskan terrain, where the high-altitude topography of the Norutak Hills meets the jagged Continental Divide. The map details a remote section of the Northwest Arctic Borough Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area boundary, tracing a wilderness landscape defined by the winding course of Klikhtentotzna Creek. This 2016 survey illustrates the pristine hydrology and untouched landforms of the Brooks Range foothills, showcasing the natural drainage patterns where creek beds cut through steep elevation contours. The lack of infrastructure highlights the protected nature of this preserve, offering a precise view of the geographic features that have dictated movement through this subarctic corridor for generations.
