About this map

The Continental Divide traverses the center of this northern Alaska landscape, a significant geographical marker within the Gates of the Arctic National Preserve. This terrain is characterized by the prominent elevation of the Helpmejack Hills, which dominate the eastern portion of the survey area. To the far east, the waters of Helpmejack Cr skirt the edge of these highlands, providing a rare hydrographic feature in this high-latitude wilderness. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the remote and protected status of this interior region during the early twenty-first century, preserving the land as it has existed for generations. This map captures the intersection of dramatic relief and national conservation efforts, where topographic contours reveal the true shape of the Alaskan interior.
