Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains east into tributaries of the Atigun River and west into tributaries of the Itikmalac River which in turn flows into the Itkillik River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately {{convert|4775|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} above the Atigun Valley in {{convert|4|mi|km|spell=in}} and {{convert|4275|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} above the Itikmalac Valley in {{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}}. Galbraith Lake is {{convert|8|mi|km|spell=in}} to the north-northeast, whereas the Continental Divide and Atigun Pass are {{convert|15|mi|km}} to the south. The nearest community is Prudhoe Bay, {{convert|250|mi|km}} to the north. The mountain's toponym has not been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.

== Climate == According to the Köppen climate classification system, Mount Kiev is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.<ref name=KGcc2007>{{Cite Köppen-Geiger cc 2007}}</ref> Winter temperatures can drop below −20&nbsp;°F with wind chill factors below −30&nbsp;°F.
