2015 Map of Baird Mountains D-2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2015

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park and the Noatak National Preserve meet in this 2015 topographic study of the northwestern Arctic. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Baird Mountains, where the peak of Kanaktok Mtn rises above the surrounding drainage basins. This map documents a critical hydrologic divide where the waters of Kanaktok Cr and the Salmon River carve through the high country. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the protected, wilderness character of this region, emphasizing the natural topography and the boundaries of federal preserves as they existed in the early 21st century. Researchers can trace the exact contour of the drainage systems and the massive scale of the mountain range that separates these two iconic Alaskan parklands.
