2015 Map of Noatak D-1 NE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses the southern half of this landscape, where the wide Noatak River meanders through a network of braided channels and seasonal sandbars. The northern portion is characterized by upland terrain and the prominent Lake Tagakvik, which sits in a basin fed by the Agugun River. The drainage patterns and topographic contours captured in this survey illustrate a pristine Arctic wilderness where natural waterways dictate the shape of the land. This map provides a technical view of the hydrography and public land survey boundaries in the Northwest Arctic region, showing the exact relationship between major lakes and the primary river systems that define this remote corridor.
