2016 Map of Shungnak A-5 NW

About this map

The Continental Divide serpentines across the eastern half of this 2016 topographical survey, marking a significant hydrologic threshold within the Alaskan interior. This remote landscape serves as a political boundary as well, where the Northwest Arctic Borough meets the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The map illustrates a high-altitude wilderness defined by sharp contour lines and unnamed summits, showing the land exactly as it appeared in the early 21st century before any significant development. It is an essential document for understanding the geographic orientation of these two massive administrative districts in relation to the territory's primary watershed divide.
