About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the majority of this Arctic landscape in the Northwest Arctic Borough. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Nanielik Creek, which meanders through the central and northern portions of the territory. This map documents a wilderness area void of permanent settlements or modern road infrastructure, reflecting the protected status of the preserve established to maintain the integrity of the Noatak River basin. The intricate contour lines illustrate the elevation changes and drainage patterns that characterize this remote section of Alaska, providing an essential record for those studying the hydrography and natural boundaries of the region during the early twenty-first century.
