2014 Map of Noatak D-4 SE

About this map

Cape Krusenstern National Monument occupies the southern half of this Arctic landscape, where the terrestrial boundary of the protected area meets the tundra of the Noatak region. The industrial presence of the Red Dog Mine Road cuts across the southeast, providing a critical transport link in this otherwise roadless expanse. To the north, the hydrology is defined by the meandering Wulik River and the smaller Tutak Cr, which drain the area near the prominent Kalik Bluff. The terrain is further marked by Azizurgllk Ikpik, reflecting the indigenous nomenclature that persists in this part of the Northwest Arctic. This survey captures a moment of modern infrastructure and traditional landscape, showing the intersection of heavy mining logistics and federal conservation land.
