2016 Map of Killik River A-4 NE

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses nearly the entire landscape shown on this 2016 survey in the North Slope region. The terrain is characterized by high-elevation ridges and drainage basins, most notably the headwaters of Kakivilak Cr and Chitlak Cr. These watercourses flow through deep valleys between peaks reaching over 6,000 feet, following a path through township sections like t32n r17e. The map serves as a precise record of the remote wilderness before modern infrastructure, focusing entirely on the natural hydrography and topograhic relief of the Brooks Range interior. It highlights the vast, unpopulated character of this protected subarctic environment, where the land is defined solely by its watershed patterns and mountain crests.
