2016 Map of Hughes C-6 SW

About this map

Pah River meanders through the northwest corner of this remote Alaskan interior landscape, a terrain defined by its complex hydrology and vast wetland systems. The southern portion of the sheet opens into the Pah River Flats, a low-lying basin characterized by numerous small lakes and ponds that suggest a dynamic seasonal water cycle. This 2016 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the transition from the structured upland ridges in the north down to the saturated lowlands of the south. The absence of permanent roads or settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the Northwest Arctic borough, where the landscape remains shaped primarily by the flow of the river and the underlying topography of the Kobuk River valley region.
