2015 Map of Noatak C-1 SE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve defines the vast majority of this landscape in the Northwest Arctic Borough. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of the Agashashok River, which cuts through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. This 2015 survey illustrates a wilderness nearly untouched by permanent infrastructure, focused instead on the natural topography of the Brooks Range foothills. The map relies on precise elevation data from the National Elevation Dataset and imagery from Spot to document the drainage patterns and ridgelines that shape this protected Arctic environment. It is a portrait of a landscape where the absence of roads and human settlements emphasizes the scale of the river system and the surrounding preserve.
