2017 Map of Philip Smith Mountains B-3 SE

About this map

The Middle Fork Chandalar River, also known by the Gwich'in name Teedriinjik River, dominates this mountainous landscape in the Brooks Range. This section of the North Slope reflects a remote wilderness environment where high-altitude relief and river drainages provide the primary geographic context. The dual naming of the river system on this 2017 survey highlights the integration of indigenous hydronyms alongside established colonial names, a significant detail for those studying the cartographic history of the Alaskan Arctic. The terrain is characterized by steep contours and glacial valleys, with the river serving as the central topographical feature through which the surrounding ridges are oriented.
