2017 Map of Philip Smith Mountains A-1 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Beaucoup Cr flows through the western portion of this high-altitude landscape in the North Slope borough, carving through dramatic elevation changes that exceed 6,000 feet in several peaks. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a wilderness defined by steep topographic gradients and the headwaters of the regional drainage system. The absence of roads or structures emphasizes the primitive character of the terrain, which is organized by the Public Land Survey System grids of t14s r20e, t14s r21e, t15s r20e, and t15s r21e. The intricate contour lines illustrate a complex network of ridges and glacial valleys, providing a precise record of the remote Brooks Range foothills before further environmental shifts occur.
