2015 Map of Misheguk Mountain A-2 SE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the entirety of this Arctic landscape, defined by a massive drainage basin where the Noatak River meanders through the northern edge of the sheet. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and glacial features, notably where Little Cottonwood Cr flows southwest toward the interior of the preserve. This 2015 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise topographic record of the wilderness just before more recent shifts in Arctic hydrology. Without any roads, settlements, or structures, the map focuses exclusively on the natural environment, marking the intersections of township lines like t31n r5w and t31n r4w as the only human-imposed markers on this expansive northern watershed.
