About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this landscape in the Northwest Arctic region of Alaska, showcasing a remote wilderness defined by its intricate waterways. The Noatak River dominates the lower half of the quadrangle, carving a wide and meandering path through the terrain. Its complex oxbow lakes and side channels suggest a dynamic fluvial system that reshapes the valley floor over time. In the northern reaches, the Atongarak Cr winds through higher elevations, feeding into the broader drainage network. This 2016 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise topographic record of these Arctic corridors, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the preserve's role as a protected ecological sanctuary.
