2016 Map of Ambler River C-1 NE

About this map

The Noatak River meanders across this Arctic landscape, cutting through the northern reaches of Gates of the Arctic National Park. The map reveals a land defined by its glacial hydrology, where large water bodies like Lake Matcharak and Lake Isiak sit amidst an intricate network of drainage systems. The survey detail highlights the sharp transition from the river valley floor to the rising topography near Komakuk Cr and the Ipnetiuk River. This 2016 record provides a clear view of the wilderness boundaries within the Northwest Arctic Borough, where no permanent settlements or roads appear on the terrain, emphasizing the untouched character of the Brooks Range interior. It is an essential document for understanding the modern protected boundaries of one of the nation’s most remote national park landscapes.
