1972 Map of Table Mountain A-1

About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Range defines this high-latitude terrain along the eastern edge of Alaska in 1972. This survey focuses on the remote watershed where the Old Crow River and Bilwaddy Creek flow through an unpopulated landscape marked only by topographic elevations like Billie, Pasture, and Tip. The United States Canada international boundary is the defining line here, marking the divide between the Alaskan wilderness and the Yukon Territory. A solitary Winter Trail provides the only recorded human path through the northern sections, indicating the seasonal nature of travel in a region where geography is shaped by hydrology and elevation rather than settlement. The map reflects a moment of environmental preservation and international demarcation before modern infrastructure or extensive commercial development reached this far north of the Arctic Circle.
