2016 Map of Wiseman D-4 SW

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park encompasses the majority of this landscape, representing a remote reach of the Brooks Range during the mid-2010s. The terrain is defined by the high-elevation drainage systems of the Allen River and Publituk Cr, which carve through steep topographical contours. The map reflects a wilderness area largely devoid of permanent human infrastructure, highlighting the preservation of natural waterways and undeveloped federal lands in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Researchers interested in the hydrology of northern Alaska can trace the winding course of Publituk Cr as it flows toward the eastern margin of the quadrangle, while the Allen River dominates the central and southern valleys.
