1983 Map of Table Mountain D-3

About this map

The Continental Divide dictates the flow of water across this high-latitude terrain, marking a fundamental geological boundary within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Running through the southern half of the sheet, the divide separates drainage patterns in a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and glacial carved valleys. To the north, the Kongakut River meanders through a wide valley, serving as a primary watercourse for this protected ecosystem. This 1983 edition reflects the management of these lands following the designation of the Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness, preserving a section of the Brooks Range where no roads or permanent settlements appear. The map provides a precise look at the land's contours as they were understood in the early 1980s, based on photogrammetric data from the previous decade.
