2016 Map of Killik River A-1 SE

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses nearly the entirety of this remote interior Alaska landscape, where the high Arctic drainage systems are meticulously documented. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of Marker Mtn, which serves as a central landmark amidst a complex network of glacial valleys and headwaters. Two primary watercourses, Sulugiak Creek in the northern reaches and Agiagiak Creek winding through the south, illustrate the natural flow of the Brooks Range watershed. The southern boundary of the map identifies the administrative divide between the North Slope Borough and the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. This topographic study provides a precise record of the unpopulated wilderness and high-altitude relief in the early twenty-first century, useful for understanding the hydrologic patterns and natural boundaries of this protected northern ecosystem.
