2016 Map of Shungnak A-1 NW

About this map

The Dakli River meanders across this northern Alaskan landscape, defining the hydrology of the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This interior region, documented in 2016, is characterized by the winding path of Wheeler Creek, which flows through the central terrain before being labeled as Wheeler Cr in its upper reaches. The map highlights the complex network of wetlands and seasonal drainages that feed into these primary watercourses. Surveyed as part of the Public Land Survey System, the area is organized by several township and range boundaries, including t9n r11e, t9n r12e, and t10n r12e. The topography reveals significant elevation changes, with ridges rising sharply above the river valleys, illustrating the transition between the low-lying river basins and the interior uplands of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
