2015 Map of Baird Mountains B-2 SE

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park encompasses much of this arctic landscape, defined by the winding course of the Salmon River as it moves through the southern and western reaches. The waterway's intricate oxbows and meanders dominate the low-lying terrain, illustrating a wild river system largely untouched by modern development. To the east, the Tutuksuk River flows southward, paralleling the higher ground of the Baird Mountains. In the southwest corner, the Kilik River makes a brief appearance before merging into the broader drainage basin. This 2015 survey reflects a wilderness area preserved for its unique ecological value, where the absence of roads and named settlements highlights the remote character of the Northwest Arctic Borough. The map provides a precise record of these hydrological patterns and the vast protected lands of the Kobuk Valley.
