2015 Map of Noatak D-2 SW

About this map

The Mulgrave Hills dominate the northwestern landscape of this sub-arctic terrain, rising above a complex network of waterways in the Northwest Arctic Borough. The drainage pattern here is defined by several prominent streams, including Pingaluruk Cr and Evaingiknuk Cr, which weave through the townships of the public land survey system. Along the eastern edge of the sheet, the Noatak River serves as a primary geographical anchor, marking the boundary of the Noatak National Preserve. This area, also designated as Nnp on the southern margin, remains a landscape primarily defined by its natural hydrology and topographical contours, with Kitchak Cr flowing through the southwestern corner. The map provides a clear record of these protected lands before any significant modern infrastructure altered the drainage basins or ridgelines.
