About this map

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge encompasses this entire high-latitude landscape, where glacial-carved drainages define the North Slope geography. The Hulahula River dominates the western portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary waterway in a region otherwise characterized by steep elevation contours and seasonal drainages. Further east, the Mollie Beattie Wilderness protects a significant portion of this roadless territory, emphasizing the primitive nature of the terrain. The hydrological network is further articulated by West Patuk Creek and East Patuk Creek, which carve through the central and southern reaches. This modern survey reflects the survey lines of townships such as t3s r32e and t4s r31e, illustrating how administrative boundaries are projected over this remote, unpopulated expanse of the Brooks Range foothills.
