The Noatak River and Aniuk River flow through this remote Arctic landscape, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of the North Slope Borough during the early 1980s. This survey follows the implementation of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, depicting the expansive boundaries of the Noatak National Preserve and the Noatak Wilderness. The terrain is defined by the Pupik Hills and a network of tundra waterways, including the winding Fauna Creek. High-latitude surveying in this era relied on photogrammetric methods from the early 1970s to map areas like the NPR in Alaska, providing a detailed record of a region with no established roads or trails.
