2015 Map of Ambler River B-5 SW

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park dominates this sub-arctic landscape, where a network of braided waterways defines the low-lying terrain. The Akillik River winds through the central and eastern portions of the map, characterized by significant meanders and oxbow formations indicative of a dynamic river system. This area represents a transition between the northern mountainous slopes and the broader river valleys of the Northwest Arctic. Smaller tributaries like Nekakte Cr and Nuna Cr feed into the larger river systems, cutting through the complex topography of the public land survey sections. The absence of human-made infrastructure or settlements underscores the protected wilderness character of this region during this period.
