2015 Map of Ambler River D-5 NE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the entirety of this remote Arctic landscape, where the wide, braided channels of the Noatak River flow through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The river’s path is defined by complex meanders and numerous seasonal gravel bars, reflecting a dynamic hydrological system that remains largely untouched by permanent settlement. The interior is characterized by significant topographic relief, with elevation contours tracing a series of ridges and valleys that descend toward the river basin. Surveyed coordinates for t30n r3e and t29n r4e mark the public land grid across this protected wilderness, providing a precise spatial framework for a region defined by its lack of human infrastructure.
