2016 Map of Ambler River C-2 SE

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park dominates this northern interior landscape, preserving a vast corridor where the Ambler River winds through the southern reaches of the Schwatka Mountains. The map illustrates a transitional zone where high mountain ridges descend toward the river valley, showing the intricate hydrology of the region's unnamed tributaries feeding into the primary waterway. This 2016 survey captures a portion of the Brooks Range that remains largely untouched by permanent settlements or road infrastructure, defined instead by the topographical complexities of the Northwest Arctic's wilderness. The inclusion of Public Land Survey System township and range boundaries, such as t26n r10e, provides essential reference points for researchers tracking federal land designations and regional wilderness management boundaries within this protected arctic ecosystem.
