About this map

The Noatak National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this Arctic landscape, where the braided channels of the Noatak River meet the rising slopes of the Igichuk Hills. This 2015 topographical study documents the intricate hydrology of the region, specifically where the Agashashok River flows south into the main river channel. The northern half of the map is defined by a dense network of seasonal wetlands and small lakes characteristic of the tundra, while the southern section transitions into more defined relief.

Researchers of the Northwest Arctic can trace the path of the Sevisok Slough, an important waterway that meanders through the western lowlands. The lack of man-made infrastructure, roads, or settlements emphasizes the protected nature of this wilderness area within the preserve. The map serves as a clear record of the natural boundaries and river courses as they existed in the mid-2010s, providing a baseline for environmental and geological study in this part of Alaska.
