2015 Map of Ambler River D-6 SW

About this map

The Noatak National Preserve encompasses the vast majority of this 2015 survey, protecting an arctic wilderness defined by the winding paths of Namielik Creek and Kunyanak Cr. Located in the Northwest Arctic Borough of Alaska, the landscape is almost entirely undeveloped, showing a high-resolution view of drainage patterns and high-latitude topography. Unlike earlier maps of the region, this 2015 update utilizes data from the National Elevation Dataset and National Hydrography Dataset to precisely chart the headwaters and tributaries that feed the larger Ambler River system. The map is primarily an administrative and topographic study, focused on the public land boundaries of the Preserve across townships like t28n r1w and t27n r1w, offering a clear look at the terrain before any modern human encroachment or permanent infrastructure.
