GAAR Kobuk River Basin Physiography
2000. GAAR Kobuk River Basin Physiography
As part of an interagency agreement between the National Park Service (NPS) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), basin characteristics are being determined for a number of watersheds in National Parks of Alaska. The purpose of this data set is to provide the NPS information about the physiographic regions of the Kobuk River Basin to do basic spatial analysis. A GIS coverage of the physiographic regions of the Kobuk River Basin can be used to determine the type of topography for a given basin. Topography of watershed can help explain the explain the runoff characteristics for a specific stream. More knowledge and understanding of the Kobuk River Basin will help the NPS in making sound management decisions.
