2017 Map of Candle C-6 SW

About this map

The Kiwalik River and its network of tributaries define the hydrology of this Northwest Arctic landscape as it was documented in 2017. The terrain is structured by a series of drainages, including the aptly named Gold Run and Coal Cr, which suggest the historic mineral interests that often drew surveyors to this portion of Alaska. The winding paths of Boulder Cr, Canoe Cr, and Quartz Cr reveal a complex watershed that flows through the township boundaries of t2n r15w and t2n r16w. This map captures the region's physical character, showing the interplay between elevation and the seasonal waterways that carve through the tundra. The absence of modern infrastructure underscores the wild state of these river corridors, providing a baseline for researchers studying Arctic geomorphology or the placement of early mining claims.
