About this map

Pah River winds through this northern landscape, serving as the central geographic feature in a region defined by its complex hydrography and varying elevations. The terrain is marked by a series of north-south ridges and drainages, providing a clear view of the natural corridors used for navigation in the Northwest Arctic borough. This 2016 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey utilizes high-resolution imagery and contour data to delineate the intricate watershed of the Pah River as it passes through several townships. The absence of developed roads or named settlements underscores the character of this area as a preserved natural environment, where the topography itself dictates the movement of water and those traveling through the territory.
