About this map

Mollie Beattie Wilderness and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge converge in this northern Alaskan landscape, where the Sadlerochit River flows through the eastern reach. The terrain is defined by dramatic glacial features, including the Kiakpaurak Valley and Ikiakpuk Valley, which reveal a complex system of drainage from the surrounding peaks. A network of alpine waterways, such as Fire Creek, Gravel Creek, and Snow Creek, carve through the high elevations before joining the larger river system. The presence of Cache Creek and Talus Creek highlights the specialized mountain geography that dominates this protected wilderness area. This modern survey provides a precise look at the uninhabited backcountry of the North Slope, documenting the drainage patterns of Eagle Creek as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
