1971 Map of Wiseman D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Koyukuk River and its major tributaries dominate this high-latitude terrain, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Brooks Range foothills in the early 1970s. The map reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and significant peaks, such as Alhamblar Mountain and Falsoola Mountain in the north, and Whiteface Mountain to the south. Transport through this roadless wilderness relies on natural corridors like Kinnorutin Pass, which connects the Kinnorutin Creek drainage with Amawk Creek. The convergence of the Hammond River and the Koyukuk River creates a central valley floor, while numerous named creeks like Kovithyukpuk Creek and Eekayruk Creek underscore the importance of water systems in navigating and identifying this vast interior territory.
