2015 Map of Noatak A-3 NE

About this map

Cape Krusenstern National Monument occupies a significant portion of this high-latitude landscape, representing a protected Arctic wilderness defined by its dramatic topographic relief and vital waterways. The Situkuyok River meanders through the central and western sections of the map, carving a path between the elevated peaks of the Igichuk Hills and Mt Noak. This survey documents the terrain just as the 21st-century environmental baseline was being established, capturing the complex drainage patterns of the river valley. The map is primarily an environmental and topographic record of a roadless region, where the intersection of tectonic forces and glacial history has shaped a distinctively unpopulated landscape within the Northwest Arctic Borough.
