2015 Map of Noatak D-2 NW

About this map

Sivukat Mtn dominates the central landscape of this Northwest Arctic territory, rising above a network of drainages that feed into Evaingiknuk Cr. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where industrial infrastructure meets the high tundra, most notably marked by the Red Dog Mine Road cutting across the northwest corner. This vital transportation corridor serves one of the world's most significant zinc and lead operations, providing a rare human imprint on a terrain otherwise defined by high elevations and seasonal waterways. The survey reveals the complex drainage patterns of the region, showing how smaller tributaries converge at the base of the mountain range to form the wider reach of the creek as it flows south toward the Noatak River valley.
