About this map

Pah River dominates the eastern and southern reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, winding through a complex system of low-lying wetlands and oxbows. The terrain transitions from high, unnamed ridges in the north down toward the Pah River Flats, a broad alluvial expanse that characterizes the southern half of the quadrangle. This area, situated within the Northwest Arctic Borough, showcases the natural drainage patterns of the region before the river turns westward. The map reveals a wild landscape devoid of established roads or permanent settlements, where the geography is defined entirely by its hydrography and elevation contours. This survey serves as a detailed record of the river's course and the surrounding marshlands as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
