2015 Map of Ambler River B-6 SE

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park encompasses a significant portion of this Arctic landscape, where the meandering Hunt River serves as the central hydrologic feature. The river’s complex oxbows and shifting channels define the low-lying basin, which is bordered by the more stable drainage of Nekakte Cr to the east and Akiak Cr in the northern reaches. This 2015 survey illustrates a vast wilderness area within the Alaska-Northwest Arctic Borough that remains largely devoid of permanent human infrastructure, focusing instead on the intricate topography and natural water systems. The absence of roads or settlements emphasizes the remote character of the region, where the primary landmarks are the named watercourses and the public land boundaries of the national park.
