2014 Map of Candle C-4 SW

About this map

W Fork Buckland River and its meandering tributaries dominate this 2014 survey of the Northwest Arctic. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and topographical depressions, with Bear Cr weaving through the central and northern sections of the quadrangle. This map primarily illustrates the intricate drainage patterns and undeveloped terrain within the t2n r11w and t2n r10w townships. The lack of human-made infrastructure or named settlements highlights the isolated nature of this subarctic wilderness, where the primary geographical landmarks are the named forks and creeks that define the watershed. The contour lines reveal a complex series of low-lying hills and valleys, offering a detailed record of the natural hydrologic flow across this remote stretch of Alaska.
