1983 Map of Table Mountain C-2

About this map

The Continental Divide carves a jagged path through this remote Alaskan landscape, marking the high crest that separates vast drainage basins. This 1974-based survey of the North Slope reflects a wilderness preserved within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness. The topographical detail focuses on the upper reaches of the Firth River, which flows through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. In this high-latitude environment, the map provides a scientific inventory of unnamed peaks and drainage patterns that define the region's physical geography. There are no roads or trails recorded, emphasizing the untouched character of this arctic sanctuary during the mid-1970s.
