About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park encompasses a significant portion of this Arctic landscape, where the wide channel of the Kobuk River dominates the southern half of the terrain. The river forms a complex network of braids and bars as it flows westward, joined from the north by Niaktuwik Cr. In the northern reaches, the Akillik River winds through the tundra, illustrating the drainage patterns typical of this remote region. The map reveals the relationship between these significant water bodies and the protected park boundaries, providing an exact record of the hydrography and topographic relief in the Northwest Arctic Borough. The lack of roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness character of the area, defined primarily by its major river systems and the expansive protected lands of the National Park Service.
