2015 Map of Misheguk Mountain B-1 SE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the central landscape of this remote subarctic survey, where the drainages of the Anisak River and Stone Ring Cr define the movement of water across the North Slope. The terrain is marked by high-elevation landforms within the Misheguk Mountain system, showcasing the intricate topographic contours that dictate the hydrology of the region. This 2015 study by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of the natural boundaries and river systems as they exist within the protected preserve, illustrating the unpopulated and undeveloped character of this Alaskan wilderness. Researchers and geographers can trace the headwaters and tributaries that eventually contribute to the larger Noatak River basin.
