2015 Map of Shungnak A-6 NW

About this map

The Northwest Arctic landscape of the Shungnak A-6 NW quadrangle is defined by the high, ridged topography of the Alaskan interior, centered on the drainage of Ekiek Cr. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain dominated by elevation shifts and hydrological patterns rather than human infrastructure or settlements. The lack of roads or established townships reflects the wilderness character of the region, where the Public Land Survey System grid, including t10n r1w and t9n r1w, provides the primary organizational framework for the land. Researchers interested in the natural geography of the Arctic borough can trace the meandering path of the creek as it navigates the distinct elevation contours and valleys of this remote corridor.
