1985 Map of Ambler River A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Kogoluktuk River snakes through the center of this remote Alaskan interior, meeting the Ambler River amidst a landscape of riverine lowlands and significant mountain peaks. Recorded in the mid-1980s, the terrain is characterized by the expansive Lowland area and the high elevations of Riley and Kogo. While the region appears largely undeveloped, the presence of Prospects in the northern reaches indicates early interest in the mineral potential of the Brooks Range foothills. The Mauneluk River cuts across the southeastern corner, further defining a drainage system that has historically shaped travel and subsistence in the Northwest Arctic. This provisional survey provides a precise look at the hydrology and topographical contours before more modern infrastructure reached this part of the Arctic.
