2014 Map of Selawik A-2 NW

About this map

Hunt Cr and its various tributaries thread through this remote Arctic landscape in the Northwest Arctic Borough. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small ponds and wetlands in the northern reaches, giving way to more pronounced topographical relief as one moves south toward the Maigoak River. This 2014 survey documents the hydrography of the region before significant shifts in the permafrost landscape, illustrating the complex drainage patterns characteristic of the Selawik area. The map primarily serves as a record of the natural hydrology and elevation across portions of Townships 8, 9, and 10 North, where water and topography remain the dominant features in an area devoid of permanent human settlements or infrastructure.
