2016 Map of Shungnak A-2 SW

About this map

Billy Hawk Creek defines the hydrological character of this landscape, winding through a complex network of oxbow lakes and meander scars. This 2016 survey captures the transition from the high relief of the northern hills to the low-lying wetlands of the interior river valleys. The intricate patterns of water and land in the southern half of the map illustrate a highly dynamic alluvial environment where the creek has shifted its course repeatedly over time. The Public Land Survey System grid, including t8n r9e, t8n r10e, t7n r9e, and t7n r10e, provides the primary structural framework for navigating this remote and largely unpopulated territory in the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
