2015 Map of Misheguk Mountain B-1 SW

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this remote Arctic landscape, where the high-elevation peaks of the Iggiruk Mountains dominate the southeastern quadrant. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by steep contour intervals and the headwaters of alpine drainage systems. Most notably, New Cottonwood Cr winds through the southwestern valleys, showing the intricate hydrological patterns typical of the North Slope's mountain-to-tundra transition. The map provides an exacting look at the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, documenting townships T34N and T33N across ranges R4W and R3W. While the area is devoid of permanent human settlements or structures, the detailed topography serves as a critical reference for understanding the geography of the western Brooks Range and the protected wilderness of the Noatak basin.
