About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Range dominates this portion of the Alaskan interior near the international border, where the Continental Divide winds through the northern landscape. This 1972 survey documents a remote wilderness defined by the meandering course of the Old Crow River, which flows through a complex network of wetlands and tundra south of the North Slope Borough Boundary.

Relief is concentrated in the high elevations of Ammerman Mountain and along the prominent Yankee Ridge, while the drainage of Ammerman Creek feeds into the river system. This map captures the region as it existed during the early 1970s, illustrating a landscape devoid of permanent roads or settlements, where the only human-imposed markers are the jurisdictional lines of the United States Canada border and the Alaska Yukon boundary.
