1972 Map of Table Mountain A-3

About this map

Arctic National Wildlife Range defines the high-latitude terrain of this 1972 survey, documenting a portion of the Brooks Range before its later expansion and redesignation. The landscape is primarily shaped by the drainage systems of Eskimo Creek in the northwest and Marten Creek in the southeast, which cut through unnamed peaks reaching elevations over 3,000 feet. This 1970s USGS study reflects a period of heightened federal interest in the Alaskan interior, utilizing aerial photogrammetry to map the complex topography of the Humiat Meridian and surrounding townships. The absence of roads, trails, or permanent structures across the quadrangle emphasizes the sheer isolation of this northern wilderness at the time of the survey.
