2015 Map of Noatak A-3 NW

About this map

Cape Krusenstern National Monument dominates this coastal landscape in the Northwest Arctic Borough, where the terrain transitions from the Chukchi Sea shoreline to the interior heights. The map tracks the complex hydrology of the region, from the tidal waters of Krusenstern Lagoon and Kasik Lagoon to the inland winding courses of the Evelukpalik River and Situkuyok River. Moving east from the low-lying lagoons, the topography rises sharply into a series of named peaks and ridges, including Tiyaktalik Mtn, Milokraulok Mtn, and the Kislowrut Hills. This 2015 survey illustrates how the northern drainage systems like Milokraulok Cr carve through the upland summits of Akargichek Mtn and Simik Mtn, providing a detailed look at the geographic character of this protected Alaskan wilderness.
