2015 Map of Selawik B-1 NE

About this map

The Selawik River meanders through a labyrinth of freshwater lakes and wetlands in this remote Arctic landscape. This hydrologic network is dominated by the sprawling oxbows of the Tagagawik River, which winds through the southern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. The map documents a complex system of thermokarst lakes and interconnected waterways that define the northern tundra. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the terrain is marked by township and range boundaries including t12n r2w and t13n r3w, though the area remains void of permanent structures or roads. This document preserves the precise state of the river channels and shoreline configurations as they existed before further shifts in the permafrost landscape.
