2014 Map of Candle C-2 NW

About this map

The Middle Fork Buckland River and the S Fork Buckland River dominate this interior landscape within the Northwest Arctic Borough. The drainage patterns of the region are further defined by the winding course of Kalusuk Cr and its tributary, Little Kalusuk Cr, which carve through the terrain as part of the broader Buckland River system. This 2014 survey documents a roadless expanse of the Alaskan subarctic, where the lack of human infrastructure or named settlements highlights the topographic isolation of the Seward Peninsula's hinterlands. The map serves as a primary record of the hydrological network that sustains the local ecosystem, providing precise positioning for river bends and stream junctions essential for navigation in this remote environment.
