About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park dominates this portion of the Alaskan interior, showcasing the intricate drainage patterns of the Brooks Range. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation gradients of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, where several significant watercourses shape the terrain. In the northern reaches, Willow Cr and Swede Cr flow through deeply incised valleys, while the southern part of the quadrangle is marked by Mascot Cr. On the western edge, the headwaters of Conglomerate Cr indicate the complex hydrology of this subarctic environment. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the primitive state of this wilderness in the early twenty-first century, serving as a baseline for environmental study and the preservation of large-scale natural systems.
