About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses the vast majority of this landscape, showcasing the preservation of the Brooks Range wilderness in the early twenty-first century. The hydrography is defined by the headwaters and upper reaches of two significant drainage systems. The Killik River flows through the central and northern sections of the map, while the Alatna River enters the southwestern corner. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes and high mountain ridges, typical of the Arctic Divide. The absence of roads, structures, or established trails underscores the primitive nature of this remote Alaskan interior, where the land remains managed for its wilderness character under federal oversight.
