2016 Map of Survey Pass C-6 NE

About this map

Gates Of The Arctic National Park encompasses the central portion of this wilderness landscape, where the Noatak River meanders through a broad valley. The terrain is defined by the convergence of several significant watercourses, including the Kugrak River and Kurupaulima Cr, which drain the surrounding high country. This 2016 survey captures the area’s undisturbed hydrologic patterns, centered on the notable Lake Omelaktovik. The lack of man-made structures or named settlements highlights the preserved state of the western Brooks Range, focusing instead on the precise relief and drainage networks that characterize this subarctic environment. The map provides a detailed record of the natural boundaries and water features as they existed in the early 21st century.
