2016 Map of Ambler River B-1 SE

About this map

Kogoluktuk River dominates this remote landscape, its winding course carving through the mountainous terrain of the Brooks Range. This section of the Arctic wilderness is largely defined by its inclusion in the Gates of the Arctic National Park, a vast protected area that remains one of the most untouched regions in the United States. The topography is marked by steep elevation changes and intricate drainage patterns, illustrating the raw geography of the Northwest Arctic Borough. Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t23n r12e and t22n r13e, provide the only geometric structure to an otherwise fluid, natural environment. For those studying the northernmost reaches of Alaska, this map provides a clear look at the intersection of protected federal land and the wild river systems that shape the northern interior.
