1986 Map of Killik River A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Gates Of The Arctic National Park and the surrounding wilderness are defined by a complex drainage network in this 1980s topographic record. The Killik River serves as the central artery for the region, fed by numerous named tributaries including April Creek, Mary Creek, and Ayakalak Creek. This map, based on aerial photography from 1973, provides a detailed view of the North Slope Borough's undeveloped interior before more modern mapping efforts. The land is characterized by steep elevation changes and high ridges that separate the various watersheds. Smaller waterways like Enekalikruak Creek and Sugakuik Creek carve through the northern terrain, while Kakiutak Creek and Sinuk Creek mark the southern reaches of this remote Alaskan quadrangle. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the pristine character of the Gates Of The Arctic Wilderness at the time of this publication.
