2015 Map of Noatak D-1 SE

About this map

The Noatak National Preserve occupies much of this landscape, where the northern Arctic wilderness transitions into the high elevations of the Maiyumerak Mountains. The map reveals a complex drainage system defined by Uvgoon Cr, which snakes through the foothills and low-lying areas. The terrain is marked by a sharp contrast between the broad, relatively flat river basins and the steep, tightly packed contour lines of the southern mountain range, which dominates the lower half of the quadrangle. As a modern survey, it serves as a precise record of the hydrological patterns and topographic relief within this federally protected area of the Northwest Arctic borough.
