2015 Map of Ambler River C-4 SW

About this map

Noatak National Preserve and Kobuk Valley National Park meet in this remote northern Alaska corridor, where the Baird Mountains rise through the center of the landscape. The survey documents a critical transition in the Arctic wilderness, where high alpine terrain gives way to the winding course of the Cutler River. This waterway snakes through the northeast and southeast sectors, carving through the topographic contours that define these protected federal lands. The map captures a largely untouched ecosystem within the Northwest Arctic Borough, illustrating the immense scale of the region's mountain ranges and the intricate drainage patterns of the river valley as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
