About this map

Ipnavik River meanders across this northern Alaskan landscape, marking a transition between major protected federal lands in the 1980s. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, while the southern reaches fall within the Noatak National Preserve and the more restrictive Noatak Wilderness. A significant cartographic detail is the convergence of regional survey lines, notably the South Boundary Umiat Meridian North Boundary Kateel River Meridian. The topography rises toward the Howard Hills in the southeast, drained by a network of waterways including Bupto Creek, Memorial Creek, and Safari Creek. This survey represents the region shortly after the establishment of these federal boundaries under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980.
