2014 Map of Selawik A-3 SE

About this map

The rugged terrain of the Northwest Arctic Borough is defined here by the Public Land Survey System divisions of T8n R7w and T7n R7w during the early 21st century. This topographic study, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using data from the Alaska Dept. of Transportation and the Bureau of Land Management, documents a vast, uninhabited landscape north of the Arctic Circle. The map is primarily a record of elevation and natural drainage, lacking the named settlements or roads found in more developed regions. It serves as a precise baseline for the remote geography of the Selawik area, where the township and range lines like T8n R8w and T8n R6w provide the only human-imposed structure upon the wilderness.
