2015 Map of Selawik D-3 SE

About this map

Hockley Hills dominate the northern landscape of this interior Alaska quadrangle, situated in the Northwest Arctic region. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, most notably Naluk Cr flowing through the northern slopes and the winding path of Oblaxon Cr further south. A significant human imprint on this remote area is the Roland Norton Memorial Airstrip, located in the southern portion of the sheet near the border of t16n r7w. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, illustrating the systematic Public Land Survey System grid across these foothills. This 2015 survey is particularly valuable for documenting backcountry aviation infrastructure and small watercourses in a region where few permanent settlements are established.
