About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Preserve dominates this wild Alaskan landscape, where the northern drainage patterns of the Brooks Range unfold. High-elevation contours in the northeast transition into a complex network of wetlands and river valleys to the south and west. The prominent Lake Selby sits in the northwestern quadrant, feeding the Selby River as it meanders toward its confluence. In the southern half of the map, the Kobuk River carves a broad path across the terrain, joined by the winding waters of Angayukachak Cr. This 2016 survey documents the intricate hydrography of the region, illustrating the seasonal floodplains and braided channels that characterize this preserved wilderness in the Northwest Arctic Borough.
