2017 Map of Wiseman A-2 NW

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park dominates this section of the Brooks Range, where high-latitude drainage patterns define the wilderness landscape. The North Fork Koyukuk River meanders through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by tributaries such as Winnie Cr and Alder Cr. This 2017 survey shows a region largely untouched by development, characterized by steep elevation changes and isolated water bodies like Florence Cr Lake. The lack of road infrastructure and human settlements on the map underscores the area's role as a protected wilderness corridor within the northern interior of Alaska. Map readers can trace the natural flow of Florence Cr as it makes its way through the mountain valley, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Arctic watershed.
