2015 Map of Baird Mountains D-2 NE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the central portion of this wilderness landscape, where the meandering course of Aklumayuak Creek threads through a wide valley floor. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, with ridges rising steeply from the water to heights exceeding 2,400 feet. This 2015 survey reflects a landscape largely defined by natural topography and protected federal boundaries, devoid of permanent settlements or modern road infrastructure. The map provides clear evidence of the complex braided drainage patterns and high-latitude landforms that characterize this remote section of the Northwest Arctic. Surveyed boundaries for t30n r5w, t30n r4w, t29n r5w, and t29n r4w provide a precise grid over the varied mountain slopes and creek basins.
