Noatak National Preserve encompasses the vast majority of this landscape, where the braided channels of the Avgun River and the Kelly River wind through the Arctic tundra. The elevation rises significantly in the northern portion of the quadrangle at the Avgun Hills, providing a stark topographic contrast to the lake-dotted lowlands to the south. This 2015 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by its drainage patterns rather than human infrastructure, with Lake Tagakvik sitting near the southern boundary. The map serves as a primary record of the hydrography and terrain of the De Long Mountains area, showing how water systems dominate the geography of the Northwest Arctic Borough.
