2014 Map of Candle C-3 NE

About this map

Buckland River drainage patterns define this remote corner of the Northwest Arctic, where the S Fork Buckland River winds through the northeastern edge of the quadrangle. The landscape is dominated by the hydrological network of Ulukluk Cr and Brush Cr, which carve through the high-elevation terrain before joining the larger river system. This 2014 survey documents the complex topography of the Seward Peninsula interior, capturing a snapshot of the region prior to any significant modern infrastructure or development. The detailed contour lines reveal the physical isolation of these waterways, which have served as traditional corridors for local travel and subsistence for generations.
