The Philip Smith Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in Alaska's North Slope Borough, where vertical relief and river drainage define the terrain. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise visualization of the steep slopes and glacial valleys that characterize this section of the Arctic range. The map is organized by Public Land Survey System boundaries, including portions of T9s R18e, T10s R19e, and T11s R19e, which provide essential reference points in a wilderness area devoid of modern settlements or roads. The intricate contour lines reveal a complex network of high peaks and descending stream beds, capturing the raw topography of the Alaskan interior before any significant human development.
