About this map

Cape Krusenstern National Monument dominates the southwestern portion of this map, representing a landscape with archaeological and cultural depth. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of Kikmiksot Mountain and the neighboring Mulgrave Hills, which provide the high-relief backdrop for the region's drainage systems. These highlands feed several vital waterways including the Omikviorok River, which winds through the lower elevations toward the Chukchi Sea coast. The mapping of Tutak Cr, Kuchak Cr, and Kuyak Cr illustrates a complex network of seasonal and perennial streams that have long influenced movement through this part of the Northwest Arctic. This survey provides a precise look at the land's contours and the boundaries of federal protection areas as they existed in the early 21st century.
