2016 Map of Ambler River A-1 NE

About this map

The Schwatka Mountains dominate the high-elevation landscape in this part of the Northwest Arctic Borough, where dramatic contour lines reveal a complex topography of ridges and peaks. In the western portion of the quadrangle, the Kogoluktuk River flows southward through the high country, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding slopes. This 2016 survey illustrates a vast wilderness area characterized by significant vertical relief, where mapping follows the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t21n r12e, t21n r13e, t20n r12e, and t20n r13e. The map provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns and landforms within this remote interior region of Alaska, showing a landscape largely shaped by its glacial and hydrological history without the presence of named roads or established settlements.
