1972 Map of Table Mountain A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Arctic National Wildlife Range defines the vast majority of this 1972 topography, documenting a landscape shaped by glacial and periglacial processes in northern Alaska. The northern portion of the quadrangle is characterized by a high concentration of small thermokarst ponds and lakes, the largest being Sheenjek Lake. To the south, the terrain transitions into more pronounced relief where Monument Creek carves through the mountains. This survey, compiled from aerial photography, captures the intricate hydrological patterns of the region before any significant human development, showing the drainage systems that feed into the larger river valleys of the Brooks Range foothills. The map provides a detailed view of the natural contours and swampy lowlands that dictated movement through this subarctic wilderness during the early 1970s.
