2020 Map of Marshall C-8 NE

About this map

Kashunuk River meanders across this low-lying landscape in the Kusilvak Census Area, defining a territory of complex hydrology and seasonal wetlands. The waterway's intricate path is joined by the aptly named Wrong Creek, which snakes through the eastern portion of the survey. This 2020 map documents the shifting hydrography of the Alaskan tundra, where the relationship between moving water and stationary land is constantly in flux. The absence of roads or settlements underscores the isolation of this region, focusing entirely on the natural drainage patterns and the surveyed boundaries of Townships 18 and 19 North. Researchers can observe the dense network of unnamed ponds and sloughs that characterize the drainage basin between these primary watercourses.
