Kobuk Valley National Park occupies the northwest corner of this sub-arctic landscape, where a complex network of waterways defines the terrain. The drainage systems of the Kugarak River and Kugaruk River dominate the southern half of the quadrangle, while smaller tributaries like Nakolik Cr and Mishuk Cr carve through the northern sections. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by natural hydrologic patterns rather than human infrastructure, showing the intricate relationship between the tundra streams and the surrounding basins. The detailed contour mapping provides a clear view of the elevation changes across these remote watersheds within the Northwest Arctic Borough.
