2016 Map of Ambler River B-3 NW

About this map

The Baird Mountains dominate this 2016 survey of the Alaskan interior, where the Noatak National Preserve encompasses the northern high country. This landscape is defined by the drainage of the Redstone River, which meanders south through a broad valley flanked by steep contour lines. In the southeast, Cross Cr cuts through the lower elevations, highlighting the intricate drainage patterns typical of this subarctic region. The map provides a look at the wilderness before the impact of modern development, recording the intersection of protected national lands and the native terrain of the Northwest Arctic Borough.
