2017 Map of Philip Smith Mountains B-5 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Gates of the Arctic National Preserve dominates this remote section of the Brooks Range, where the landscape is defined by the braided path of the Itkillik River. This high-latitude corridor reveals a wilderness preserved in its natural state during the early twenty-first century. The river system is fed by drainage from the Inikaklik Creek to the north, while the Oolah Valley provides a significant geographic landmark within the rugged mountain system. The lack of man-made infrastructure or permanent settlements underscores the area's role as a protected wilderness, managed by the U.S. Geological Survey to document the shifting hydrology and topography of Alaska's North Slope.
