2015 Map of Baird Mountains A-4 NE

About this map

Cross Cr and Boldrin Cr dominate this northern landscape, carving through the high elevations of the Baird Mountains. The terrain transitions from high, contoured peaks in the north to a low-lying, wetland-rich basin in the south, where the drainage of Peluk Cr, Klery Cr, and Timber Cr becomes a complex network of small ponds and interconnected waterways. This 2015 survey reflects the seasonal hydrologic patterns typical of the Alaska-Northwest Arctic Borough, where the runoff from the northern slopes feeds the saturated lowlands. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the wilderness character of the region, defined primarily by its watershed boundaries and the Public Land Survey System divisions of T21N and T20N.
