About this map

The Romanzof Mountains dominate this high-latitude survey, marking a dramatic segment of the Continental Divide in the northeastern Brooks Range. Established as part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the landscape is defined by its untouched hydrological systems, including the Hulahula River and the Okpilak River. The presence of the Okpilak Glacier flowing north from the high peaks underscores the arctic alpine environment captured in this 1983 edition.

While the northern slopes drain toward the Beaufort Sea via East Patuk Creek, the southern reaches of the quadrangle include the headwaters of the Sheenjek River and Itkitlik Creek. This map documents a region within the Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness where no roads or trails are noted, reflecting a vast wilderness area that remains primarily unsurveyed on the ground, with land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management.
