Squirrel River dominates this landscape in the Baird Mountains, carving a wide valley through the northwestern Alaskan wilderness. The drainage network is characterized by the confluence of the N Fork Squirrel River and the meandering path of Nookati Cr, which winds through the western portion of the quadrangle. The terrain transitions from broad, low-lying river plains punctuated by numerous small ponds and wetlands to more pronounced elevations in the southwest. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of the natural hydrology and land divisions within the Northwest Arctic Borough, capturing the untouched character of the subarctic tundra before any significant modern infrastructure development.
