2016 Map of Shungnak B-1 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2016

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape in the Brooks Range foothills, marking the definitive boundary where the Arctic and Yukon watersheds diverge. This 2016 survey highlights the remote interior of the Northwest Arctic Borough Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, an area defined by its dramatic topographic relief and complex drainage systems. To the south, the headwaters of Wheeler Cr carve through the steep terrain, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of the subarctic wilderness. The map provides a detailed view of the public land survey system, including township boundaries such as t12n r11e and t13n r12e, which facilitate land management in this roadless region. It is a vital record of the untouched terrain before modern shifts in permafrost and drainage further alter these high northern landscapes.
