2016 Map of Survey Pass A-4 SW

About this map

Reed River meanders through the eastern portion of this wilderness landscape, serving as a central geographic corridor through a territory defined by its extreme topography. This portion of the Brooks Range shows the transition between the protected interior of the Gates of the Arctic National Park in the northeast and the adjacent Gates of the Arctic National Preserve in the southeast. The survey details a landscape of high-altitude ridges and deep valleys, largely untouched by infrastructure or permanent settlement. This map provides critical topographic context for the headwaters and drainages that feed into the Arctic's larger river systems, illustrating the sharp vertical relief and hydrological patterns that dictate movement through these protected northern lands.
