2015 Map of Baird Mountains C-4 SE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the majority of this landscape, protecting a significant corridor of the Alaskan wilderness. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Omar River, which snakes through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary hydrological feature in this high-latitude environment. The map captures the intricate topographic contours of the Baird Mountains region, illustrating the steep elevation changes and drainage patterns that characterize this remote subarctic territory. Surveyed in the early twenty-first century, this data provides a precise record of the natural boundaries and watercourses within the preserve, highlighting the preservation of the Omar River watershed. The absence of human-built infrastructure or named settlements emphasizes the character of the region as a protected ecological sanctuary.
