2015 Map of Ambler River A-3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2015

About this map

The Ambler River winds through this subarctic wilderness, creating a complex network of oxbow lakes and meandering side channels. Flowing from the hills to the north, the river is the central geographical feature of this interior landscape, joined by tributaries including Agnes Cr and Cross Cr. The terrain transitions from the high elevations in the northern sections, marked by steep contour intervals, down to a broad alluvial plain characterized by shifting watercourses. Lake Talhak sits in the southeastern portion of the sheet, likely an abandoned channel or kettle lake typical of this river system. This region, within the Northwest Arctic Borough, is defined by its remoteness and the absence of established road infrastructure, highlighting a landscape where natural drainage patterns and the seasonal flow of the Ambler River dictate travel and access.
