2016 Map of Selawik B-3 NE

About this map

Tuklomarak Lake and the eastern reaches of Selawik Lake dominate this landscape within the Northwest Arctic Borough. The geography is characterized by a complex network of freshwater bodies and meandering waterways, where the Mangitak River and Fox River drain into the expansive coastal basins of northern Alaska. This 2016 survey provides a modern record of the shifting hydrography in a region where seasonal changes and water levels define the environment. The map details the intricate shoreline of Inland Lake to the north, offering a clear view of the hydrological connections between these major lakes and their tributary rivers, essential for understanding the traditional subsistence patterns and seasonal navigation routes in this part of the Arctic.
