2016 Map of Hughes C-5 NE

About this map

The Continental Divide traverses this remote stretch of the Alaska wilderness within the Gates of the Arctic National Preserve. This landscape is defined by its extreme topography, where water flows in opposite directions toward the Arctic and Pacific drainages. Rising in the southwest corner, Mt Ekron stands as a prominent topographical landmark among the complex drainage basins of the Northwest Arctic Borough. The map serves as a detailed survey of the Public Land Survey System grids, specifically documenting townships from t16n r17e through t14n r18e. This 2016 edition provides a modern inventory of the untouched terrain before further environmental shifts, offering researchers a precise look at the elevation and hydrology of one of the most protected wilderness areas in the United States.
