2015 Map of Noatak B-2 NE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the vast majority of this landscape, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and tundra in the Northwest Arctic Borough. The terrain is defined by an intricate pattern of small, unnamed lakes and ponds that dominate the northern and central sections, eventually giving way to the larger expanse of Aliktongnak Lake in the southwest. This area, documented in 2015, shows a landscape almost entirely devoid of modern infrastructure, preserving the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours of the Alaskan wilderness. The absence of roads or settlements underscores the remote character of this region within the preserve, where the Public Land Survey System grid lines for t24n r18w and t23n r18w provide the only structural overlay on the natural geography.
