2015 Map of Selawik B-1 SW

About this map

Glacial and permafrost-shaped topography dominates this portion of the Northwest Arctic Borough in 2015. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of small lakes and ponds, typical of the high-latitude wetlands found in this remote section of Alaska. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the quadrangle is organized by the Public Land Survey System into several large divisions, including T11n R4w, T11n R3w, T10n R4w, and T10n R3w. The map illustrates a region without established roads or settlements, where the terrain itself is the primary record, reflecting the natural hydrography and elevation changes across this subarctic environment.
