2015 Map of Baird Mountains A-1 NE

About this map

The Kobuk River dominates this Arctic landscape as it winds through the southern portion of Kobuk Valley National Park. The river's broad channel and shifting sandbars create a dynamic hydrological environment, characteristic of this protected wilderness in the Northwest Arctic Borough. To the north, the Kalluarichuak River feeds into the system, carving through a terrain defined by subtle elevation changes and glacial legacy. This 2015 survey captures the area's pristine state, where the absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the region's role as a vast natural corridor for wildlife and a vital resource for traditional subsistence practices.
