2014 Map of Norton Bay B-4 SW

About this map

The Shaktoolik River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a complex system of drainage and wetlands in the Norton Bay region. This 2014 survey reveals a transition from the winding waterways of the Tagoomenik River to the rising elevations of the eastern hills, where Afternoon Cr begins its descent. The land is defined by its hydrology, with numerous small lakes and ponds scattered across the tundra between the primary river channels. At the southwestern edge, Beeson Slough marks the edge of a low-lying riparian environment. The map captures the area as it appeared in the early 21st century, illustrating the township lines of t13s r12w, t13s r11w, and the corresponding southern sections, which provide a modern grid over this remote subarctic terrain.
