1986 Map of Survey Pass C-2

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park and the contiguous Gates of the Arctic Wilderness dominate this northern landscape, which was formally established just years prior to this publication via the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The river systems define the geography of this roadless region, led by the wide channel of the Alatna River in the southwest corner. Tributaries like the Kutuk River and Pingaluk River flow through the interior, while Arrigetch Creek drains the southern reaches. In the north, Dallmaloak Mountain stands as a primary landmark near Dallmaloak Creek. This 1986 edition reflects a period of transition for Alaska's interior, moving from unassigned public lands to managed federal conservation units while remaining entirely devoid of permanent infrastructure or roads.
