1971 Map of Philip Smith Mountains B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Continental Divide cuts across the northwest corner of this remote North Slope landscape, defining the fundamental hydrological split of the Brooks Range. Flowing south from these heights, the Wind River and its intricate drainage network dominate the central terrain, while the Junjik River and Smoke Creek occupy the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This 1971 field-annotated survey, based on 1970 aerial photography, reveals a completely wild environment with no roads or trails in the area at the time of mapping. The topography is characterized by high-elevation ridges and glacial valleys, illustrating the untouched headwaters that feed into larger Alaskan river systems. It is an essential document for understanding the pristine state of the eastern Brooks Range before later developments in the North Slope Borough.
