2016 Map of Ambler River B-1 SW

About this map

Shungnak River winds through this expanse of the Northwest Arctic, providing the primary hydrological feature in an area defined by its significant topographic relief. This 2016 survey highlights the complex drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior, where the river's path is constrained by the surrounding high-elevation terrain. The grid of public land subdivisions, including townships such as t22n r11e and t23n r12e, illustrates the systematic mapping of this remote wilderness. The map's contour lines reveal a landscape of steep slopes and deep valleys, characteristic of the Brooks Range foothills, offering a precise look at a region largely devoid of permanent human infrastructure or established roadways.
