2014 Map of Candle D-3 NW

About this map

The Fish River meanders through this remote portion of the Northwest Arctic, carving a distinct valley through the Seward Peninsula interior. This survey illustrates the hydrological patterns of the river as it winds through township boundaries including T7n R8w and T6n R8w. The landscape is defined by the elevation contours of the surrounding uplands, which dictate the drainage of smaller seasonal tributaries into the main river channel. The map provides a precise look at the land survey system and natural geography in a region largely defined by its untamed river systems and shifting arctic terrain.
