2015 Map of Baird Mountains A-2 NW

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park dominates the central landscape of this Arctic quadrangle, where the Kallarichuk River winds through the eastern and northern reaches of the terrain. The river’s path, characterized by its presence in both the lower-elevation river valleys and the higher-relief sections of the Baird Mountains, highlights the varied topography of this northern region. This 2015 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an intricate look at the township and range boundaries, including t21n r6w and t21n r5w, which delineate the vast public lands. The lack of modern roads or settlements emphasizes the remote nature of this wilderness at the time of the study, preserving a detailed view of the natural drainage patterns and the elevation changes that define the western Baird Mountains.
