2014 Map of Candle C-5 NE

About this map

Kilulikpuk Cr and Fairhaven Cr define the hydrological landscape of this Arctic terrain within the t4n r12w and t3n r12w land divisions. The map reveals a high-elevation environment where numerous small waterways, such as Sugar Loaf Cr and Scotch Cr, drain the upland slopes. The drainage patterns of Cape Horne Cr and Hunter Cr indicate a complex system of seasonal or permanent streams typical of the Northwest Arctic. This survey provides a baseline of the natural geography before the impact of changing climate cycles, showing the precise locations of unnamed ridges and the named watersheds that have sustained local subsistence and exploration for generations. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the remote, undeveloped character of this portion of the Alaska-Northwest Arctic Borough.
