2016 Map of Killik River B-2 NE

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses the southeastern portion of this map, reflecting the protected status of the Brooks Range wilderness in the North Slope region. The drainage patterns are defined by the Okpikruak River, which meanders through the central and eastern sections, and Silaliningua Cr in the southwest. The terrain is characterized by high-elevation contours and complex drainages typical of the northern interior of Alaska, where hydrological features provide the primary geographic markers in a landscape devoid of permanent road infrastructure or settlements. This survey provides a baseline of the Arctic environment at a time of continued geological and hydrological monitoring in the remote northern frontier.
