2015 Map of Selawik D-1 SW

About this map

The Ikagoak River winds through this expanse of the Northwest Arctic, defining a landscape of complex water networks and low-lying terrain. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation of the region shows a high density of small lakes and ponds, characteristic of the North American Arctic tundra. In the southern reaches of the quadrangle, the Nuleargoik River cuts across the wetlands, illustrating the drainage patterns that dominate the local topography. This area is organized by the Public Land Survey System into townships including t17n r4w, t17n r3w, t16n r4w, and t16n r3w. The map serves as a record of these remote waterways and the intricate hydrologic features of the Selawik vicinity as they appeared in the early 21st century.
