2014 Map of Selawik A-1 NE

About this map

The Tagagawik River carves a winding path across this landscape in the Northwest Arctic Borough, shaping a terrain defined by extensive wetlands and seasonal water bodies. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a remote portion of the Alaskan interior where the hydrological patterns of the river dominate the local geography. The map reveals a complex network of thermokarst lakes and ponded water characteristic of the region's permafrost environment, providing a detailed look at the drainage systems within the Townships of T10N, T9N, and T8N. Without permanent roads or settlements, the Tagagawik River remains the primary geographical landmark for navigation and environmental study in this part of the Selawik A-1 NE quadrangle.
