2015 Map of Noatak C-1 SW

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses this entire Arctic expanse, representing a landscape defined by natural boundaries rather than human settlement. The territory is organized under the Public Land Survey System, as indicated by township and range markers such as t25n r17w and t26n r16w. These designations provide the only formal structure across a region where elevation and hydrology dictate the geography. The terrain is dominated by high-latitude drainage patterns and sharp topographic relief, typical of the Brooks Range foothills. Because the area remains protected wilderness, the map lacks the roads, mines, or structures found in more developed regions, offering a clean cartographic study of subarctic landforms and natural hydrology in the early twenty-first century.
