1983 Map of Table Mountain D-2

About this map

The Continental Divide traverses the southern portion of this high-latitude terrain, marking the primary hydrological boundary in this corner of the Alaska North Slope. Flowing through the northern reaches, the Kongakut River serves as a major drainage, while Mancha Creek winds through the southeastern section of the quadrangle. The entire area is contained within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, with a significant portion further designated as the Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness. This 1983 edition represents an area with no established roads or trails, showing the land as it was surveyed through photogrammetric methods in the 1970s. The map provides a detailed record of the topography and drainage patterns at the edge of the Brooks Range before modern satellite imagery became the standard for navigation.
