2015 Map of Misheguk Mountain B-4 NW

About this map

Copter Peak and Kingaviksak Mtn dominate this remote northern landscape within the Noatak National Preserve. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably the Kugururok River which carves through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. Smaller tributaries like Nunaviksak Cr and Cairn Cr feed into the larger river valleys, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Alaska North Slope. This U.S. Geological Survey representation highlights the high-altitude topography and glacial-carved valleys of the western Brooks Range during the early 21st century. The map provides essential detail for understanding the landforms of this protected wilderness, where no roads or permanent settlements are indicated, emphasizing the untouched nature of this Arctic environment.
