Noatak National Preserve encompasses the vast majority of this landscape, where the Augun River and Kugururok River flow through an environment shaped by glacial history and arctic hydrology. The water system is punctuated by Lake Narvakrak in the southeast, situated within a topography defined by significant elevation changes and traditional township and range divisions. The absence of modern infrastructure or permanent settlements reflects the protected status of this wilderness area in the early 21st century. This map documents a specialized arctic ecosystem where drainage patterns and localized water bodies dictate the character of the terrain, providing a look at a remote part of the Northwest Arctic Borough before subsequent environmental shifts.
