2016 Map of Baird Mountains A-6 SW

About this map

Hotham Inlet defines the southern extent of this landscape, where the waters of the Inlet meet the northern tundra. The terrain transition is striking, moving from the open tidal waters and wetlands into a series of rising hills and peaks. These elevations are marked by significant contour changes across the northern portion of the quadrangle, particularly within the sections of t20n r15w and t20n r14w. This specific survey emphasizes the vast, uninhabited character of the Northwest Arctic at this moment in the early twenty-first century, documenting the precise relationship between the shoreline and the rising Baird Mountains foothills without the presence of permanent named settlements or roads.
