2016 Map of Shungnak B-4 NW

About this map

The Selawik River meanders across the northern reaches of this Arctic landscape, defining a complex network of oxbows and floodplains in a region of transition. This 2016 survey captures the intersection of the Northwest Arctic Borough and the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, where the low-lying river valley meets the rising topography of the interior. To the southwest, Ingruksukruk Cr and Shovel Cr drain the higher elevations, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the northern tundra. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, including t13n r4e and t12n r5e, which organize this largely undeveloped wilderness. The absence of permanent settlements or roads emphasizes the isolation of this corner of Alaska, where the natural drainage of the Selawik River remains the primary geographical constant.
