2015 Map of Baird Mountains D-1 NW

About this map

Noatak National Preserve lands dominate this 2015 survey of the Baird Mountains D-1 NW quadrangle, showcasing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes. The waterway of Aklumayuak Cr carves through the central portion of the map, serving as the primary drainage feature for the surrounding peaks. The terrain is marked by steep ridges and deep valleys, illustrated through dense contour intervals that reveal the complex geography of this remote Arctic environment. This map reflects the vast, undeveloped wilderness of the Northwest Arctic Borough during the early 21st century, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the protected status of the preserve. The public land survey system grid, including townships t30n r4w and t29n r3w, provides a structural reference for this largely untrammeled terrain.
