2016 Map of Ambler River A-3 SW

About this map

Ingricherk Mtn and Bismark Mtn anchor this sub-arctic landscape in the northern interior, where the high ridges of the Northwest Arctic Borough meet the headwaters of the Kobuk River drainage. This 2016 survey illustrates a largely untouched wilderness defined by its seasonal hydrology, where Woodchopper Cr and Garland Cr wind through the valley floor. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Shungnak River, a significant waterway that has historically provided a corridor for travel and subsistence in this part of the Ambler River region. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t20n r7e and t19n r7e, which are essential for understanding land ownership and mineral claims in this resource-rich but sparsely populated territory.
