Gates of the Arctic National Preserve dominates the northern landscape of this 2016 survey, where the Brooks Range foothills meet a watery lowland expanse. The terrain is defined by the massive Norutak Lake, a significant water body situated in the central-east portion of the sheet. Outside of the preserve boundaries, the map details the intricate hydrography of the Northwest Arctic Borough, characterized by countless small ponds and wetlands. This document serves as a detailed record of the wilderness as it appeared in the early 21st century, illustrating the relationship between the high-elevation slopes in the north and the lake-dotted basins to the south.
