2016 Map of Hughes D-5 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Gates Of The Arctic National Preserve dominates the central landscape of this Northwest Arctic quadrangle, where the transition from high mountain ridges to the river valley is clearly defined. The terrain is shaped by several significant watercourses, most notably the Kobuk River as it winds through the southern portion of the sheet. Within the river's path, Bear Island sits as a prominent landform, while the Akpelik Cr and Angayukachak Cr drain the higher elevations to the north. This 2016 survey illustrates the pristine state of the Alaskan interior, showing a landscape defined entirely by its natural hydrology and the vast protections of the National Preserve, with no roads or permanent settlements present on the land.
