2016 Map of Ambler River B-2 SE

About this map

The Schwatka Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain within the Northwest Arctic Borough of Alaska. This topographic profile captures the headwaters and high-relief drainage patterns of the Shungnak River, which carves through the central and eastern portions of the sheet. The landscape is defined by its extreme elevation changes and sharp ridgelines, representing a wilderness state essentially devoid of permanent infrastructure, roads, or named settlements in this era. For researchers, the map provides a precise record of the hydrological network and glacial-carved topography that dictates movement through this part of the Brooks Range.
