2014 Map of Selawik B-3 SW

About this map

Selawik Lake occupies the northwestern corner of this 2014 survey, which reveals an environment of dramatic relief and varied topography within the Northwest Arctic Borough. The terrain is characterized by a high central upland that rises steadily from the lowland marshes in the north and south. The land is organized into township and range boundaries including t11n r8w and t10n r8w, though the map is notable for its lack of established roads or permanent settlements. Instead, the landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal drainages and the intricate contour lines of the interior highlands, reflecting the untamed nature of this Arctic region during the early twenty-first century. The presence of the lake edge suggests the importance of water access for this isolated stretch of terrain.
