2016 Map of Survey Pass D-3 NE

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses the majority of this Alaskan wilderness landscape, defined by its high-altitude drainage systems and steep topographic gradients. The terrain is characterized by the headwaters and descent of two primary watercourses: April Cr, which flows through the southwestern and southern sectors, and Satailak Cr in the northeast. This 2016 survey provides a record of the high Brooks Range environment, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns before they are influenced by lower-elevation human infrastructure. The map detail highlights the relationship between these mountain streams and the surrounding ridgelines, preserving the exact state of the protected federal parkland within the Yukon-Koyukuk region during the early 21st century.
