2015 Map of Selawik B-1 NW

About this map

Glacial lakes and intricate wetlands dominate this landscape within the Northwest Arctic Borough of Alaska. As recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2015, the terrain is defined by a dense mosaic of thaw lakes and ponds, characteristic of the low-lying tundra in this subarctic region. The map provides a detailed look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including the intersection of T13n R4w, T13n R3w, and T12n R4w, which helps orient researchers to specific sections of this remote wilderness. The absence of named human settlements or roads underscores the pristine nature of this environment, which is governed by the shifting boundaries of water and land in the Selawik River basin area.
