2016 Map of Selawik C-5 NE

About this map

Selawik Lake dominates the southern edge of this landscape in the Northwest Arctic, where the transition between open water and complex wetlands defines the terrain. The northern reaches are characterized by the meandering path of the Nazuruk Channel, which threads through a network of smaller ponds and seasonal waterways. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate hydrography of the region just north of the Arctic Circle, reflecting the delicate balance of an environment where water and land are often indistinguishable. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, such as t15n r12w and t16n r11w, which overlay this largely undeveloped expanse of the Alaskan interior.
