2015 Map of Baird Mountains A-1 NW

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park defines this landscape in the northern Arctic, where a complex network of waterways navigates the lowland terrain. The dominant Kobuk River flows broadly across the center of the map, fed by several significant tributaries including the Tutuksuk River and the Kiliguricheark River. The meandering paths of these rivers, particularly the sharp oxbows and intricate channels of the Salmon River in the west and Nigeruk Cr in the southeast, reveal a dynamic alluvial environment. This 2015 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by water, showing the relationship between the primary river corridor and the smaller streams that drain the surrounding basins within the protected park boundaries.
