About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the entirety of this Arctic landscape, defined by the winding course of the Noatak River as it moves through the southern half of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by a series of high ridges and drainage basins, where water is channeled through tributaries such as Sisiak Cr in the northwest and Isaaktuik Cr to the east.

South of the main river channel, the landscape is further articulated by Sapun Creek and Aklumayuak Creek. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation emphasizes the natural hydrography of the region, showing how the river system dictates the topography within the township boundaries of t30n r8w, t30n r7w, t29n r8w, and t29n r7w. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the protected and undeveloped nature of this preserve.
