1990 Map of Ambler River B-6

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park defines this landscape in the Brooks Range foothills, where the Akiak Mountains dominate the northern terrain. This 1990 provisional map captures the region's wilderness character shortly after federal reservation boundaries were established by the 1980 Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The drainage systems of the Hunt River and Akiak Creek wind through the hills, illustrating a remote arctic environment devoid of established roads or permanent settlements. The Kateel River Principal Meridian serves as the primary survey reference point for this territory, cutting north-to-south through the center of the parklands. To the southeast, the headwaters of Nekakte Creek emerge, further defining the complex watershed of the Northwest Arctic.
