2016 Map of Survey Pass C-5 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2016

About this map

Gates of the Arctic National Park protects this vast Arctic landscape, where the braided channels of the Noatak River flow through an expansive river valley. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and the prominent Sisikikaret Hill, which rises above the surrounding flats. Numerous seasonal watercourses, such as Anorat Cr and Portage Cr, drain the higher elevations, while Oikurak Cr and Oyukak Cr feed into the primary river system. This 2016 survey documents the intricate hydrography of the region before further shifts in the permafrost or drainage patterns occur, providing a baseline for researchers studying the untouched interior of the Alaskan wilderness. The map illustrates a landscape devoid of permanent structures, roads, or human development, focusing instead on the natural features of the Noatak valley.
