The Arctic National Wildlife Range located in the northeastern corner of Alaska, contained approximately 8,900,000 acres. The area was withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining but not the mineral leasing laws. This was the culmination of efforts begun over a decade earlier to preserve this unique part of Alaska. The National Park Service began a survey in 1949 of Alaska's recreational potential while the Navy was searching for oil and gas in the Naval Petroleum Reserve Number 4 (now National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska) and adjacent areas. The survey was directed by George L. Collins, Chief of the National Park Service's Region 4 State and Territorial Recreation Division. Collins recommended to the National Park Service in 1954 that the northeast corner of Alaska be preserved for its wildlife, wilderness, recreational, scientific and cultural values following field work and consultation with prominent conservationists such as Olaus Murie and A. Starker Leopold. Collins also recommended that the area be an international park, to include contiguous lands between the Alaska-Canada border and the Mackenzie Delta.
