2016 Map of Selawik B-5 NW

About this map

Baldwin Peninsula dominates this coastal landscape in the Northwest Arctic, situated between two significant bodies of arctic water. The northern coastline fronts Hotham Inlet, while the southern shore meets the waters of Eschscholtz Bay. This 2016 survey illustrates a terrain defined by complex hydrography, where the peninsula is saturated with numerous small lakes and ponds characteristic of the region's permafrost-influenced geography. The map provides a high-resolution look at the natural contours of the peninsula as it stood in the early 21st century, prior to further shifts in the arctic coastline. Without settlements or roads, the sheet serves as a primary reference for the physical geography and township boundaries of this remote stretch of the Alaska coast.
