2016 Map of Hughes C-6 NE

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Preserve covers the high-latitude terrain of this Northwest Arctic quadrangle, documenting a landscape primarily defined by its topographic complexity rather than human infrastructure. The map follows the boundary lines of Township 15 North, Range 15 East and its neighbors, illustrating the vast natural contours of the Brooks Range foothills. While the survey shows no roads, buildings, or named water bodies, the precise elevation data provides an essential record of the physical geography within one of the nation's most protected wilderness areas. This modern topographic study serves researchers tracking changes in permafrost-influenced terrain and remote land management within the preserve's boundaries.
