2016 Map of Selawik B-5 NE

About this map

Selawik Lake defines the northeastern portion of this arctic landscape, where the water meets a terrain marked by an intricate network of wetlands and tundra ponds. This 2016 survey of the Alaska-Northwest Arctic Borough reveals an area primarily defined by natural hydrology rather than human infrastructure, as evidenced by the lack of named roads or settlements. The map highlights the vast public land survey system grid, including t13n r11w and t12n r12w, which provides a structural framework for this otherwise unpopulated stretch of the Seward Peninsula region. For researchers, the primary value of this sheet lies in its precise documentation of the shifting shoreline and the detailed contours of the surrounding drainage basins that feed into the larger lake system.
