2015 Map of Selawik D-5 NE

USGS Topo · Published 2015

About this map

The Kiana Hills rise prominently in the northern reaches of this Northwest Arctic landscape, providing a stark topographical contrast to the low-lying wetlands and complex waterways below. The southern portion of the terrain is defined by the wandering path of the Melvin Channel, a significant distributary that winds through a mosaic of small lakes and marshy ground typical of the Selawik region. This 2015 survey reveals the intricate hydrography of the Alaskan interior, where the relationship between the elevated hills and the saturated floodplains dictates the natural movement of water across the territory. While devoid of named settlements or man-made structures, the map meticulously documents the environmental transition from upland slopes to the riverine networks of the arctic tundra.
