2015 Map of Shungnak D-6 NW

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park encompasses the northern portion of this Alaskan landscape, where the Waring Mountains rise above a complex network of waterways. The drainage pattern is defined by the Nuleargowik River and several significant creeks, including Kuchuk Cr and Niaktugik Cr. This 2015 survey reflects a wilderness area primarily managed under federal and state jurisdictions, with the terrain marked by significant elevation changes across the Waring Mountains range. The map provides a detailed view of the natural hydrology, tracing the paths of Kavet Cr and its tributaries as they move through the varied topography of the Northwest Arctic Borough. The lack of roads or settlements underscores the remote, protected character of the parkland at the time of this publication.
