2016 Map of Shungnak B-2 SE

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the northern portion of this remote Alaskan landscape, marking the high ground where water is partitioned across the interior. This high-altitude terrain is characterized by steep contours and the winding course of Wheeler Cr, which drains toward the southeast. The map clearly delineates the administrative boundary between the Northwest Arctic Borough Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, cutting through a region defined by its isolation and lack of developed infrastructure. This 2016 survey, produced with data from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Alaska Department of Transportation, highlights a wilderness area where the land's shape is the primary story, unmarred by roads or permanent settlements.
