2017 Map of Selawik B-5 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

Eschscholtz Bay dominates this coastal landscape in the Northwest Arctic Borough, where the tidal waters meet the southern shoreline of the Seward Peninsula. The terrain is defined by a narrow strip of coastal land along the southern margin of the map, featuring Elephant Point, a prominent coastal landform extending into the bay. This 2017 survey illustrates the remote maritime character of the region, where the vast majority of the quadrangle is submerged within the bay's waters. The shoreline itself shows complex topographic contours that suggest a low-lying coastal environment subject to Arctic tidal influences and seasonal shifts. Mapping of the Public Land Survey System grids, including t11n r13w and t10n r12w, provides the framework for understanding land tenure and administrative boundaries in this unpopulated stretch of the Alaskan coast.
