2016 Map of Survey Pass C-4 SW

About this map

The Noatak River meanders through the southern portion of this high-latitude terrain, where the Continental Divide serves as a critical geographic marker within the Gates of the Arctic National Park. This 2016 survey documents a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the prominent summit of Mt Paplok to the high passage at Gull Pass. The hydrological network is established by seasonal and perennial flows including Twelvemile Cr in the north and Lucky Six Cr to the east. Situated at the boundary of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and Northwest Arctic Borough, the map illustrates a protected wilderness where natural topography dictates the movement of water and wildlife across the Arctic tundra. The lack of human infrastructure emphasizes the region's status as a preserved environmental corridor.
