1986 Map of Wiseman B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park and the contiguous Gates of the Arctic Wilderness dominate this high-latitude terrain, mapped from aerial photography originally captured in 1973. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Mettenpherg Creek and its tributaries such as Colorado Creek and Pass Creek. Along the western edge, the Fairbanks Meridian West Boundary provides a rigid cartographic line across the natural basins. This provisional survey depicts a world defined by its hydrology, where Ernie Lake sits as a primary water body in the west, while Shukok Creek and Sixtymile Creek navigate the northern slopes. The absence of roads or established trails highlights the preserved state of the Brooks Range during the mid-1980s.
