About this map

The northern reaches of Cape Krusenstern National Monument define the southern half of this Northwest Arctic landscape. This sub-arctic wilderness is bisected by the Red Dog Mine Road, an industrial corridor that cuts diagonally across the terrain to connect remote mining operations with the coast. The topography is marked by significant elevations and water systems, including the Omikviorok River and Tutak Cr, which drain the surrounding highlands. Notable landmarks like Sivurak Bluff provide distinct navigational points in an area otherwise characterized by its isolation and the massive federal protected lands that cover much of the region. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when mineral transport and national conservation efforts shared this expansive Alaskan environment.
