About this map

The Wulik River carves through this Arctic landscape, creating distinct geological formations such as the Ikagruk Shallows and the prominent Sivu Bluff. This 2014 survey captures a transition from elevated terrain to river drainage, dominated by peaks like Avenak Mountain and Nasorak Hill. These landmarks provide critical orientation in a region defined by its hydrology and topographic relief.

Conservation boundaries are a key element of this quadrangle, as a portion of the Cape Krusenstern National Monument occupies the southeast corner near Imikruk Cr. The map illustrates the intersection of protected federal lands with the natural flow of the river system, documenting a portion of the Northwest Arctic that remains largely undeveloped. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns and significant elevation changes that characterize this remote coastal hinterland.
