1985 Map of Shungnak B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Purcell Mountains dominate this high-latitude landscape, where the Continental Divide winds through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Established boundaries for the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge are clearly demarcated across the northern lowland, where the Selawik River and Shiniliakrok Creek meander through a complex network of wetlands and tundra. This 1985 provisional edition reflects the land status following the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980, documenting a wilderness largely devoid of roads or trails. The map serves as a vital record for understanding the intersection of federal conservation efforts and the physical geography of the Yukon-Koyukuk region during a period of significant legislative land designation in Alaska.
