2015 Map of Baird Mountains C-6 SE

About this map

The Noatak National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this Arctic landscape, defined by its high-elevation terrain and dramatic river drainage. The Agashashok River flows through the northern reaches of the quadrangle, cutting through the northern foothills of the Baird Mountains. The map illustrates a remote wilderness where elevation contours rise sharply from the river valley toward peaks exceeding 2,400 feet. This 2015 survey provides a clear view of the complex topography within the preserve, highlighting the natural corridors shaped by the river and the surrounding high country. The lack of roads or human-made structures emphasizes the protected and untouched character of this section of the Northwest Arctic Borough.
