2016 Map of Selawik D-6 NE

About this map

Hotham Inlet dominates the northern landscape of this region, serving as a gateway to a complex network of wetlands and tidal channels. The interior is defined by a dense concentration of water bodies, including the large basins of Nulvororok Lake and Potoniek Lake, which are linked by winding waterways like the Nulvororok Channel. This hydrologic pattern reflects the dynamic nature of the Arctic coastal plain, where the shifting Oqriveq River and various lagoons create a labyrinthine environment. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the reliance on these waterways for movement across the tundra. Small features such as Ekichuk Lake dot the map, providing essential landmarks for navigation in a territory where land and water frequently merge.
