About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses the entire landscape of this 2016 survey, representing a strictly protected wilderness in the central Brooks Range. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, with the summit of Papik Mtn rising above the surrounding drainage basins. This interior Arctic environment is shaped by the complex hydrology of the Nigikpalugururvuk Cr and the smaller Midas Cr, which carve through the high-latitude valleys. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the remote character of this region, which remained focused on preserving natural topographic features and indigenous hydrological names into the 21st century. The map provides a precise view of the Northwest Arctic's high-country contours as they were documented during modern federal land management efforts.
