2015 Map of Ambler River B-4 NE

About this map

The Noatak National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this Arctic landscape, where the Cutler River flows through a remote wilderness defined by the Baird Mountains. This 2015 study by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the intersection of high mountain passes and vital drainage systems in the Northwest Arctic Borough. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Naksrak Pass and Ivishak Pass, which provide natural corridors through the peaks. Waterways like Miluet Cr and Akilugik Cr trace the lower elevations, illustrating the complex hydrologic network of this protected region. The map provides a precise record of the public land survey system divisions, including t24n r5e and t23n r6e, which delineate the administrative boundaries within the preserve.
