2015 Map of Baird Mountains B-6 NW

About this map

Noatak National Preserve defines the vast majority of this wilderness landscape in the Arctic north. The map details a rugged section of the Baird Mountains, where steep ridgelines and high-elevation valleys are charted with precision. This 2015 record captures the unaltered state of this protected land, showing the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours that have remained largely unchanged for millennia. The area is marked by a complete absence of modern infrastructure or permanent settlements, emphasizing its status as a remote conservation area. Land researchers and those interested in the Public Land Survey System can trace the section lines for townships t24n r15w, t24n r14w, t23n r15w, and t23n r14w, which provide the only human-imposed grid over this natural terrain.
