2015 Map of Noatak A-2 NE

About this map

Lower Noatak Canyon marks the dramatic passage of the Noatak River as it winds through this Arctic landscape within the Noatak National Preserve. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Igichuk Hills to the west and the prominent heights of Avingoriak Peak and Mamelak Mtn south of the river. This remote section of the Northwest Arctic Borough demonstrates the intersection of protected federal lands, with the Cape Krusenstern National Monument bordering the southwestern corner. Small tributaries like Mamelak Cr cut through the topography, feeding into the primary river system. The map reflects a landscape largely defined by its natural hydrology and relief, preserved for its ecological and geological significance in the early twenty-first century.
