2015 Map of Misheguk Mountain B-2 SW

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the majority of this Arctic landscape, where high-latitude watercourses like Kukukpilak Cr and Seagull Cr carve through the mountainous terrain. The map captures a point of transition at the boundary between the North Slope Borough and the Northwest Arctic Borough. The hydrologic network is the primary defining characteristic of the area, featuring the south-flowing Nimiuktuk River along the eastern edge and the winding path of Tumit Cr in the southwest. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation documents the uninhabited wilderness of the Brooks Range foothills, prioritizing precise elevation contours and natural drainage patterns over human infrastructure in one of the most secluded regions of Alaska.
