2016 Map of Wiseman C-3 SE

About this map

Gates Of The Arctic National Park encompasses the entire landscape of this 2016 survey, representing a portion of the Brooks Range where the North Fork Koyukuk River and its major tributaries define the drainage patterns. The Tinayguk River meanders through the central and western sections of the quadrangle, eventually meeting the North Fork in the east. This area is characterized by high-latitude hydrology and dramatic elevation shifts shown by 80-foot contours. Smaller waterways like Pass Cr and Clear River carve through the northern reaches, illustrating the complex watershed of the Koyukuk system. The map serves as a record of federally protected wilderness in the early 21st century, showing the intersection of surveyed township boundaries such as t32n r16w with the natural flow of Arctic rivers.
