2016 Map of Shungnak A-2 SE

About this map

The northern expanse of the Shungnak A-2 SE quadrangle is defined by significant topographical relief, where contour lines tightly trace the rising elevations above the surrounding wetlands. This remote Alaskan landscape, situated within the Yukon-Koyukuk region, exhibits the distinct transition from high-altitude terrain to a lower-lying basin dominated by complex hydrological patterns. The map is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, with the land divided across t8n r10e, t8n r11e, t7n r10e, and t7n r11e. These township and range designations provide the primary framework for locating specific points within this undeveloped wilderness. The mapping of these boundaries, alongside the National Wetlands Inventory data, illustrates the intricate network of water and elevation that characterizes this part of the Alaskan interior during the early twenty-first century.
