DEFINITION OF BROOKS RANGE, ALASKA

Definition of Brooks Range, Alaska

The northernmost part of the

Rocky Mountains is known as the Brooks Range, in northern

Alaska. The mountain range extends almost 600 miles

(1,000 km) in an east-west direction across northern Alaska

and is a rugged, barren, windblown and snow-covered uninhabited

range. The Brooks Range separates central Alaska’s

Yukon Basin from the oil-rich northern coastal plain, including

the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and the northern

petroleum reserve.
