Gates of the Arctic National Park covers the central portion of this survey, representing a remote reach of the Brooks Range where the landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes. To the north, the Noatak National Preserve encompasses the high country, with the Killik River flowing through the northeastern corner. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns and steep terrain within these protected wilderness areas, illustrating the untouched character of the Northwest Arctic at the time of the 2016 survey. This topographic study is particularly valuable for understanding the boundary relationship between two of Alaska's most significant federal wilderness units, captured before any modern infrastructure altered the landscape.
