1983 Map of Table Mountain C-5

About this map

The Sheenjek River flows through the center of this remote North Slope landscape, providing a primary drainage route for the surrounding high-altitude terrain. Situated within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and its designated Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness, the region is characterized by significant relief and undisturbed natural features. Notable landmarks include the prominent Double Mountain in the northern portion of the quadrangle and Ambresuajun Lake positioned near the riverbanks. The eastern edge of the map captures the headwaters of the Coleen River, illustrating the complex water systems that define this part of the Brooks Range foothills. This 1983 edition, based on 1974 photography, documents the area's geography before modern environmental shifts, serving as a record of its primitive state under federal protection.
