Alaska | The Brooks Range Has a Valley Nobody Filed
The Brooks Range in northern Alaska contains hundreds of unnamed valleys. One of them — visible in a 1958 geological survey photograph, referenced in a 1961 USGS footnote as 'pending designation,' and never subsequently designated — contains what appears in the photograph to be structures. Not geological. The photograph is in the USGS archive. The footnote says 'access deferred pending seasonal conditions.' Conditions have been deferred for 66 years.
