2016 Map of Misheguk Mountain C-3 SE

About this map

The Noatak National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this high-latitude landscape, where the southern slopes of the De Long Mountains meet a complex network of arctic waterways. This 2016 survey captures the drainage patterns of the western Arctic, anchored by the Nimiuktuk River flowing southward through the eastern reach of the quadrangle. High points like Black Mtn rise above a series of named drainages, including Driftwood Cr, Seagull Cr, and Nucleus Cr, which define the local topography. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the wilderness character of the North Slope Borough, where the land is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System grids, such as t10s r36w. The map serves as a contemporary record of these remote headwaters before they join the larger Noatak River system.
