2014 Map of Candle D-4 SW

About this map

The Buckland River carves a winding path through the Northwest Arctic Borough in this 2014 survey, illustrating a remote landscape defined by its expansive drainage systems. The water network is further defined by the Kilulikpuk Cr and the Iyou River, which flow across the township boundaries of T5N R11W and T5N R10W. Without established roads or settlements, the map focuses on the precise hydrography and topography of this subarctic wilderness, where the shifting river channels and seasonal creeks serve as the primary geographical markers. This detailed elevation study by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a foundational view of the region's natural drainage before any significant modern infrastructure development.
