2017 Map of Wiseman D-2 NW

About this map

Gates Of The Arctic National Park encompasses the majority of this interior Alaskan landscape, dominated by the high peaks of the Endicott Mountains. This 2017 survey details a wilderness defined by its complex drainage systems, where Ernie Cr flows southward through the center of the quadrangle to join the N Fork Koyukuk River. Along the western edge, Slatepile Mtn stands as a prominent landmark above the headwaters of Shushalluk Cr. The map illustrates the topographic transition from high alpine summits to the river valley floors, providing a record of the Brooks Range before recent environmental shifts. Other notable water features include Tributary Cr, Irish Cr, and Pyramid Cr, which carve through the steep terrain within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area.
