2017 Map of Wiseman B-1 SW

About this map

Gates Of The Arctic National Park defines this section of the Brooks Range, encompassing high-elevation terrain and a network of glacial and snowmelt-fed streams. The prominence of Emma Dome serves as a central landmark for the surrounding drainage basins. This interior Alaskan landscape is characterized by a high density of named watercourses, including the Upper Fork Twelvemile Cr, Quartz Cr, and Emma Cr. These waterways trace the deep valleys between unnamed ridges, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The map provides a look at the wilderness before significant anthropogenic changes, documenting the natural drainage patterns of LaSalle Cr and Moose Cr near the northern boundary. The lack of road infrastructure or permanent settlements highlights the protected status and isolation of this high-latitude environment.
