2016 Map of Ambler River D-3 SW

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the central landscape of this territory within the Alaska-Northwest Arctic Borough. The terrain is defined by a series of high ridges and deep basins, mapped with precision by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 21st century. This specific quadrangle captures a remote section of the preserve where public land survey system boundaries like T28n R6e and T28n R7e meet amidst high-elevation contours. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the protected, wilderness character of the region. Instead of human infrastructure, the focus remains on the intricate hydrography and topographic details that define this portion of the Ambler River district, providing a clear record of the area's natural state under federal stewardship.
