2015 Map of Noatak A-1 NE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the entirety of this landscape in the Northwest Arctic, showcasing a protected wilderness where natural water drainage remains the primary geographic marker. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainages of Hugo Cr in the northwest and Shiliak Cr in the southeast, both of which carve through the high-elevation contours of the western Baird Mountains. This 2015 survey illustrates the remote character of the region, where no permanent roads or settlements are present. The map's primary utility lies in its detailed topographic rendering of these subarctic slopes and seasonal watercourses, providing a precise record of the land within the Noatak National Preserve boundaries as it stood in the early 21st century.
