Kobuk Valley National Park encompasses a significant portion of this high-latitude terrain, where the northern ridges of the Waring Mountains dominate the central landscape. The 2015 survey reveals a complex network of ridgelines and drainage basins within the Northwest Arctic Borough, illustrating the unpopulated character of the Alaskan interior at this scale. In the southeast corner, the Nuleargowik River winds through the lowlands, serving as a primary hydrological feature and traditional corridor. This map documents the precise topography of the region's tundra and mountain environments, defined by substantial elevation changes and the absence of established road infrastructure or settlements common to more developed regions.
