2015 Map of Noatak A-1 NW

About this map

The Noatak River meanders across the southern reach of this landscape, carving a wide path through the expansive wilderness of the Noatak National Preserve. The terrain is defined by distinct clusters of high ground, including the Igichuk Hills in the northeast and the Mulik Hills rising south of the river. Named landmarks like Omalik Hill and Alapak Hill provide essential orientation points within this remote Arctic environment. Tributaries such as Knapp Cr and Hugo Cr drain the uplands, illustrating the complex hydrography of the Northwest Arctic. This survey captures a moment of preservation, showing how the natural drainage systems and isolated peaks remained undisturbed within the federal protected area during the early twenty-first century.
