2016 Map of Ambler River A-2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2016

About this map

The Ambler River winds through this northern Alaskan landscape, creating a complex network of braided channels and seasonal wetlands. In this corner of the Northwest Arctic Borough, the water dictates the character of the land, as the river shifts through its floodplain against the backdrop of rising terrain. The drainage patterns of the Shungnak River in the southeastern corner provide a distinct contrast to the broader glacial valley of the Ambler, illustrating the diverse hydrological systems that define this part of the Arctic. Without permanent settlements or roads, the map captures a wilderness in its natural state during the early twenty-first century, serving as a baseline for understanding the region's environmental evolution and the traditional lands within t21n r8e and t20n r9e.
