2016 Map of Killik River B-1 SW

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park dominates this high-latitude terrain within the North Slope, Alaska, where the landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Brooks Range foothills. The Middle Fork Okpikruak River winds through the western portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary corridor for the region's hydrology. The map details the intricate network of alpine tributaries, including Verdant Cr, Inyugakulgit Cr, and Fire Cr, which carve through the topographic relief. This 2016 survey illustrates the pristine environmental character of the wilderness before more recent climatic shifts might alter its seasonal water flow. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the protected status of the park, highlighting a vast area where natural geographic boundaries and watercourses remain the primary landmarks for navigation and study.
