2015 Map of Ambler River B-4 NW

About this map

The Noatak National Preserve and Kobuk Valley National Park meet in this 2015 survey of the Northwest Arctic, revealing a landscape defined by its remote river systems and high-latitude topography. This map serves as a vital record of the border between two major wilderness areas, where the terrain shifts toward the drainage of the Akilik River in the west and the meandering paths of Nuna Cr and Miluet Cr in the south and east. Unlike many areas with extensive road networks or settlements, this quadrangle highlights the intersection of Township lines such as t24n r4e and t24n r5e, which organize this vast expanse of public land. The absence of modern development underscores the preservation of these Arctic ecosystems, providing researchers and conservationists with a clear view of the natural hydrology and land divisions within these protected national grounds.
