2016 Map of Hughes D-3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2016

About this map

Kobuk River winds through the heart of this Arctic landscape, carving a serpentine path through the terrain as it approaches the dramatic Upper Kobuk Canyon. This survey captures a remote wilderness within the Gates of the Arctic National Preserve, where the river's movement defines the lowlands before the topography rises sharply into steep, unnamed peaks. The absence of roads or permanent settlements reflects the strictly preserved nature of this interior Alaskan environment. Instead, the map provides a high-resolution look at the hydrography and elevation contours that dictate travel and survival in the far north. It is a vital record for understanding the natural corridors used for seasonal movement through the Brooks Range foothills.
