2016 Map of Survey Pass B-3 NW

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses the majority of this mountainous Alaskan landscape, preserving a wilderness of extreme topographic relief. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and glacial valleys, with Aulinyak Cr serving as the primary drainage through the central and northeastern sections of the quadrangle. This 2016 survey highlights a region devoid of permanent settlements or modern road infrastructure, representing a preservation of the high Arctic environment as it existed in the early twenty-first century. The intricate contour lines reveal a complex network of high peaks and alpine basins that remain largely unchanged by human development, providing a clear record of the watershed patterns within the Brooks Range.
