2014 Map of Norton Bay D-6 NW

About this map

Kwik River meanders across this northern Alaskan landscape, carving a complex network of channels and oxbows through the low-lying terrain. The drainage pattern is defined by the confluence of several tributaries, including Quartz Cr and Horseshoe Cr, which weave through the undeveloped wilderness near Norton Bay. This survey illustrates the intricate hydrologic shifts in the region, where seasonal water flow and permafrost conditions shape the winding paths of these waterways. The map is primarily characterized by its lack of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural topography and the township boundaries of t6s r16w and t7s r15w, which provide a grid for tracking land movement and environmental change in this subarctic environment.
