2015 Map of Noatak B-3 NE

About this map

The braided channels of the Noatak River dominate this landscape, winding through the vast river basin where it meets the Eli River in the northeast corner of the sheet. The southwestern portion of the map covers part of the Cape Krusenstern National Monument, a protected area significant for its archaeological and ecological value. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of small ponds and wetlands, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Northwest Arctic. This map documents the area as surveyed in the early twenty-first century, reflecting a remote wilderness where natural features and federal land boundaries, such as those within the Cape Krusenstern National Monument, define the geographic layout rather than human infrastructure.
