About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses a significant portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, where the North Fork Koyukuk River meanders through a broad valley. The river's path is defined by numerous tight oxbows and marshy lowlands, characteristic of the subarctic drainage systems in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Several significant tributaries descend from the surrounding high ground, including Bonanza Cr to the north and Ipnek Cr, which winds through the southern reaches. The map reveals a land defined almost entirely by its hydrography and topography, with no roads or settlements interrupting the wilderness. Smaller drainages like Richmond Cr highlight the intricate network of seasonal and perennial streams that feed into the larger Koyukuk watershed, reflecting the pristine state of this protected northern ecosystem.
