2017 Map of Philip Smith Mountains B-4 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Sagavanirktok River dominates the western corridor of this landscape within the North Slope Borough, carving a wide path through the interior of the Philip Smith Mountains. This 2017 survey shows the river's braided course as it winds northward, flanked by high-elevation contours that reach over 5,000 feet. The map highlights the vastness of the Alaskan wilderness, where the lack of developed roads or named settlements reflects a terrain shaped almost exclusively by natural hydrology and elevation. The boundary lines for townships such as t11s r13e and t12s r13e provide a structural grid for researchers tracking land allotments and geographic positioning in this remote Arctic drainage basin.
