2015 Map of Baird Mountains D-3 NE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve protects this vast Arctic watershed where the Noatak River meanders through a valley defined by significant elevation changes. The hydrology of the region is centered on the primary river channel and its numerous tributaries, including Uluksiak Cr and Isaoktuvik Cr, which drain the surrounding slopes. Uyon Lakes sits in the northwest, providing a distinct water feature amidst the complex contour lines of the Baird Mountains. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey topographic study illustrates the untouched character of the Northwest Arctic Borough, highlighting the intricate drainage patterns of Aklumayuak Creek and Aklumayuak Cr as they cut through the terrain. The map serves as a primary record of this remote wilderness, detailing the land's transition from high ridges to low-lying riverbanks within the preserve.
