2016 Map of Survey Pass A-5 NW

About this map

Schwatka Mountains define the high-altitude topography of this wilderness region within the Northwest Arctic Borough. The landscape is characterized by steep elevation changes and drainage networks, most notably the path of Beaver Cr, which carves through the central and eastern portions of the terrain. This 2016 survey documents the untouched character of the mountains before modern digital mapping became the primary standard, preserving the specific township and range boundaries including t21n r15e, t21n r16e, t20n r15e, and t20n r16e. Without established roads or settlements, the map serves as a primary record for navigating the complex physical geography and seasonal waterways of the Arctic interior.
