About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this landscape, where the high elevation of the Akolikruich Hills meets the hydrology of the Brooks Range foothills. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the deep waters of Nutuvukti Lake, a notable feature that drains southward toward the winding path of the Kobuk River. This river corridor serves as a primary environmental artery through the Northwest Arctic, illustrating the transition from steep mountainous contours to the alluvial lowlands. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey using modern imagery, the map provides a precise look at the township and range lines, including t18n r19e and t18n r20e, which help define these remote public lands.
