2019 Map of Noatak C-4 NE

About this map

Igligogruk Mtn rises as a central landmark in this portion of the Cape Krusenstern National Monument, surrounded by the wide tundra landscape of the Mulgrave Hills. The map traces a critical industrial artery, the Red Dog Mine Haul Road, as it cuts through the Northwest Arctic wilderness, providing a striking contrast between modern resource infrastructure and the traditional geography of the Omikviorok River. North of the hills, the water body at Iglupiak and the winding river system illustrate the drainage patterns of this remote northern latitude. This survey documents the intersection of protected monument lands and the logistical corridors necessary for the region's mining economy during the early twenty-first century.
