2016 Map of Ambler River A-4 SE
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
The Kobuk River meanders across this landscape in the Northwest Arctic, carving a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes. The elevation shifts dramatically from the riverbanks up to the northern heights of Ingricherk Mtn, where the terrain rises above 1,500 feet. This 2016 survey documents the shifting hydrography of the Arctic river system, highlighting the many seasonal watercourses and drainages like Rabbit Cr and Pitkik Cr that feed into the larger basin. The presence of Pitkik Lake and the confluence of Kugachevik Cr in the south illustrate a landscape defined by water and drainage patterns in a region where traditional land use and environmental shifts are inextricably linked to the river's path.
