2016 Map of Hughes D-5 SE
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
The Kobuk River meanders through the heart of this landscape, forming complex oxbows and channels within the southern reaches of the Gates of the Arctic National Preserve. This 2016 survey captures a remote subarctic wilderness where the river's floodplains meet the rising terrain of the Nilunorat Hills to the north. These uplands, punctuated by the headwaters of Sulakpaatukvik Cr, contrast sharply with the low-lying wetlands and riparian corridors along Beaver Creek. The map document provides a detailed look at the hydrography of the Northwest Arctic, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the protected and undisturbed character of this Alaskan interior region.
