2015 Map of Noatak C-1 NW

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the entirety of this Arctic landscape, where the shifting waters of the Eli River meander across a broad, low-lying drainage basin. The terrain is defined by complex hydrological patterns, notably where Uvgoon Cr joins the larger network of streams flowing through the western portion of the preserve. This 2015 survey illustrates a wilderness nearly devoid of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the precise boundary lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t27n r17w and t26n r16w. The map provides a detailed look at the braided nature of Arctic waterways before they reach the higher elevations visible in the southeastern corner, offering a clear record of the region's natural geography in the early 21st century.
