The Nuleargowik River dominates this Arctic landscape, winding through a complex system of kettle ponds and marshes in the Northwest Arctic Borough. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaskan tundra, where the river's path is defined by low-lying wetlands and subtle elevation changes. The map is organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersections of t17n r3w, t17n r2w, t16n r3w, and t16n r2w. This grid highlights the vast, unsettled reaches of the Selawik region, providing a clear view of the natural topography before any significant modern development or permanent infrastructure altered the drainage of the river basin.
