1990 Map of Ambler River C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park and the adjacent Gates of the Arctic Wilderness dominate this Arctic landscape, representing a vast expanse of protected roadless terrain in the Brooks Range. The Noatak River serves as a primary drainage system, carving through the northern portion of the quadrangle where it is joined by the waters of Lake Matcharak and Isiak Lake. This 1990 provisional edition, based on aerial photography from the late 1970s and early 1980s, highlights the complex hydrography of the region, including the headwaters of the Ambler River and the meandering paths of Ipnetivik River and Nushralutak Creek. Rising above the river valleys, Blind Pass Mountain stands as a notable landmark for navigation in a territory defined by high-elevation peaks and glacial valleys, untouched by modern road infrastructure.
