2016 Map of Ambler River C-1 SE

About this map

Schwatka Mountains define the high-altitude landscape in this section of the Northwest Arctic, where the terrain is marked by steep relief and glacial drainages. This part of the Brooks Range is largely protected within the Gates of the Arctic National Park, reflecting a wilderness preserved in its natural state during the early 21st century. The map traces the upper reaches of Komakak Cr as it carves through deep valleys, providing a rare look at the hydrologic patterns and drainage basins that feed the larger river systems of the Alaskan interior. Without human settlements or roads, the topographic data highlights the raw physical geography of the arctic divide, offering a detailed record of the ridgelines and summits that characterize this remote wilderness.
