1955 Map of Selawik C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Selawik Lake dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its expansive shoreline meeting a complex network of wetlands and tundra streams. Within the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge, the topography is defined by low-relief marshes and meandering waterways such as the Singauruk River and Kokopuk Creek. These hydrological patterns illustrate the remote coastal character of the Northwest Arctic, where land and water merge through intricate systems of ponds and unnamed seasonal pools. The northern boundary of the Amnwr (Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge) also appears, marking a significant intersection of protected wilderness areas. Along the eastern coast of the lake, the Napatolik Creek flows toward the prominent Singauruk Pt, a distinct landmark in an otherwise subtle, water-dominant terrain. This 1955 photogrammetric survey, revised in the mid-1980s, highlights a landscape largely untouched by infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural drainage and shoreline transitions of the Arctic coast.
