I'd agree with DoubleCabin that the Downs Mountain quad has some pretty lonely country. Even though the lines of sight are long, I never saw anybody back there on two visits.
Here in Alaska, I'd mildly dissent from somebody's suggestion of Ipnavik River in the NPRA as the most remote spot. People do get into that area once in a while. I think one of the islands far out in the Aleutians might be a more reliable place to never see another person for years on end. Maybe Amatignak Island, southermost point in all of Alaska at 51° 15' 44" north latitude, 179° 06' 31". But then again, somebody did wind up there, in a slightly unplanned way, last year http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,528486,00.html
