The Continental Divide snakes through this high-latitude terrain within Gates Of The Arctic National Park, marking a significant topographical boundary in the Alaskan interior. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Alatna River and the Weyahok River, which carve through the elevations near Cravens Peak. This 2016 survey captures the area where the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area meets the Northwest Arctic Borough. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the wilderness character of the park, where the primary features are the steep contours of the Brooks Range and the intricate drainage patterns of the river systems. It serves as a modern record of one of the most remote and federally protected regions in the United States, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Arctic watershed.
