2017 Map of Wiseman D-1 NW

About this map

The Endicott Mountains dominate this high-latitude landscape within the Gates of the Arctic National Park in northern Alaska. This 2017 survey documents a wilderness defined by stark topography and glacial drainage patterns, where elevations rise sharply to peaks like Amawk Mtn and Apoon Mtn. A significant terrestrial corridor is marked by Kinnorutin Pass, which provides a natural transit point between steep ridgelines. The area's hydrology is characterized by numerous seasonal and perennial flows, including Alinement Creek and Saint Patricks Cr, which carve through the rock before feeding into larger regional basins. This map serves as a contemporary record of an interior Alaskan ecosystem where human infrastructure is entirely absent, preserving the names of ancient landforms and waterways like Karillukpuk Cr as they were recognized in the early twenty-first century.
