2017 Map of Philip Smith Mountains B-5 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Gates of the Arctic National Preserve dominates the southeastern quadrant of this map, marking a transition from the lower elevations of the Itkillik River valley to more dramatic mountain terrain. The presence of Itkillik Lake provides a central focal point, serving as a primary drainage basin for the surrounding slopes. The river system, including the Itkmalak River, illustrates a classic Arctic hydrological pattern where braided channels navigate through broad glacial valleys. Further north, Victor Gulch and the Oolah Valley demonstrate how the local topography is carved by seasonal runoff and ancient glacial activity, creating a landscape largely shaped by water and ice in the North Slope Borough.
