2016 Map of Shungnak A-4 NE

About this map

The Purcell Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this 2016 Shungnak A-4 NE quadrangle, creating a high-relief landscape in this remote region of Alaska. The drainage of Billy Hawk Cr winds southward through the center of the sheet, carving a valley between the prominent peaks and the lower elevations in the southern half of the map. This topographic survey captures the natural state of the wilderness within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, showing the intricate contour patterns of the mountain range and the seasonal watercourses that define the local geography. Defined by township and range lines such as t10n r6e and t9n r5e, the map reflects a landscape largely untouched by infrastructure, highlighting the fundamental physical features of the Alaskan interior.
