2016 Map of Ambler River C-2 NW

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park and the Noatak National Preserve meet in this wilderness area, where high-altitude ridge lines and drainages form a dramatic continental threshold. This 2016 survey documents the headwaters of Kavachurak Creek as it carves through the topographic contours of the Brooks Range, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Arctic. The map is defined by the intersection of four townships, including t27n r9e and t26n r8e, providing a precise look at the jurisdictional boundaries within these protected federal lands. For researchers and geographers, the detailed contour intervals offer a clear picture of the landforms that dictate the movement of water and wildlife in this high-latitude environment.
