2016 Map of Noatak B-4 NW

About this map

Cape Krusenstern National Monument occupies the vast majority of this landscape, preserving a coastal archaeological district on the Chukchi Sea. The map shows the intricate relationship between the shoreline and the brackish waters of Imik Lagoon, which dominates the northern coastal fringe. Inland, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the winding course of Rabbit Creek and the southern reaches of Jade Creek. This 2016 survey captures the area's pristine hydrology and the subtle topography of the Arctic tundra. The lack of roads or permanent settlements highlights the protected status of the monument, where the landscape remains primarily shaped by natural cycles and seasonal water flow from the coastal hills to the sea.
