About this map

Cape Krusenstern National Monument dominates this coastal landscape in Northwest Arctic Alaska, where a complex network of wetlands and tundra streams meets the sea. The map documents the northern reaches of the monument, showing the transition from the shorelines of Imik Lagoon to the interior highlands. To the north, the terrain rises toward Tukingak Mtn, providing a stark contrast to the low-lying drainages of Agagrak Creek and Umagatsiak Cr that wander through the protected territory.

The industrial footprint of the region is represented by the Red Dog Mine Road, which cuts through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. This infrastructure provides a rare terrestrial link through the remote wilderness, crossing New Heart Cr as it bypasses the coastal lowlands. The presence of these named waterways, including Anigrak Cr, highlights the vital importance of the seasonal hydrography in an area defined by its indigenous heritage and modern resource extraction.
