2016 Map of Ambler River D-3 NE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the vast majority of this landscape in the Northwest Arctic Borough, where the braided channels of the Noatak River dominate the central valley. The topography illustrates a complex riparian environment of wetlands and small lakes along the river's path, flanked by high ground that rises toward the north and south. In the northeastern corner, Atongarak Cr flows through the highlands, providing a distinct drainage route toward the primary river basin. This survey documents the raw geography of the Arctic wilderness, emphasizing the natural hydrography and elevation contours that define travel and subsistence patterns in this remote region of Alaska.
