Purcell Mountains dominate this 2016 survey of the Alaskan interior, where the high-altitude terrain is delineated by sharp contour lines and ridge systems. The map captures the remote boundary between the Northwest Arctic Borough and the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, marking a significant administrative divide in the wilderness. Winding through the northeastern section, the Selawik River follows a tight drainage pattern between the peaks, illustrating the headwater geography of this subarctic landscape. The lack of roads or settlements emphasizes the isolation of this region within the Public Land Survey System grids of t11n r9e, t11n r10e, t10n r9e, and t10n r10e.
