2017 Map of Candle D-6 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

Candle stands as the primary hub of human activity on this northern Seward Peninsula landscape, positioned where the Kiwalik River winds through the tundra toward the coast. This 2017 survey details the intersection of regional transport and conservation, showing the proximity of the Candle 2 Airport to the town and the vast reaches of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The hydrology of the region is a central focus, as various tributaries like Minnehaha Creek, Mud Channel Creek, and Wabash Creek feed into the expansive Kiwalik Lagoon and ultimately the Kotzebue Sound. The map illustrates the characteristic arctic terrain of the Northwest Arctic Borough, where isolated settlements rely on river systems and small airfields for connectivity. Local waterways such as Jump Cr and Candle Cr define the drainages around the townsite, reflecting the area's history of remote mining and seasonal habitation.
