2016 Map of Wiseman A-3 NE

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park dominates this interior Alaska landscape, providing a preserved look at the northern wilderness as it stood in the early 21st century. The drainage patterns of the Central Brooks Range are clearly defined by Florence Cr, which travels southward through the center of the quadrangle. This glacial-cut terrain is further shaped by smaller tributaries like Mud Cr and Chicken Cr, illustrating the fundamental hydrological network of this remote subarctic region. The map serves as a primary record of the topographic character within the park boundaries, where the absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the primitive state of the land protected under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.
