2017 Map of Philip Smith Mountains C-4 NW

About this map

Imnavait Mtn rises in the northwestern corner of this Arctic landscape, overlooking a vast drainage network dominated by the Toolik River and the Kuparuk River. The terrain is defined by the industrial and transport corridor of the Alaska Pipeline and the Dalton Highway, which cut diagonally across the southern half of the map. This infrastructure represents a critical modern artery through the North Slope, facilitating the transit of petroleum from the northern fields. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology of the region, where braided stream patterns and seasonal wetlands dominate the spaces between the high ridge lines and the engineered pipeline corridor.
