2016 Map of Shungnak B-3 SE

About this map

Shiniliok Cr carves through the interior of this high-latitude terrain, marking the principal drainage in a landscape defined by sharp topographic relief. The map illustrates the administrative intersection of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and the Northwest Arctic Borough, a boundary that splits the rugged elevations in the eastern half of the quadrangle. This 2016 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, uses high-resolution National Elevation Dataset contours to delineate the complex ridges and basins surrounding the creek. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of this region during the early twenty-first century, providing a baseline for geographical studies of Alaska’s remote interior river systems and borough divisions.
