2014 Map of Candle C-6 SE

About this map

Weather Ridge dominates the eastern elevation of this Northwest Arctic landscape, serving as a prominent topographic divide. The drainages of Coal Cr and Quartz Cr flow westward through the central and northern sections of the map, carving distinct pathways through the undulating terrain toward the Kiwalik River in the southwest. The systematic division of the land into townships like t2n r14w and t1n r15w reflects the administrative organization of this Alaskan interior during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a largely natural drainage network, where the shifting courses of these interior waterways reveal the slow geological processes of the Seward Peninsula region.
