2015 Map of Shungnak B-6 NW

About this map

The Selawik River dominates this landscape in the Northwest Arctic Borough, winding through an intricate network of oxbow lakes and wetlands. The river's meandering course creates a complex hydrological system characterized by constant shifts in the channel, as evidenced by the numerous abandoned loops and disconnected ponds that fill the valley floor. To the southeast, the terrain transitions toward Ekiek Cr, part of a drainage pattern that defines this remote subarctic region. This 2015 survey provides a precise record of the shoreline and waterway positions before natural erosion and permafrost changes further alter the topography. The map's detail is focused primarily on the natural water systems and the Public Land Survey System boundaries that divide the wilderness, including t12n r1w and t13n r1w.
