2015 Map of Shungnak B-6 SE

About this map

The Northwest Arctic Borough, as shown in this 2015 study, consists of an intricate network of unnamed lakes and high-elevation terrain organized by the Public Land Survey System. The area is defined by the intersections of T11n R1e, T11n R2e, T10n R1e, and T10n R2e. This landscape is primarily hydrologic, dominated by several large, unnamed bodies of water in the northern sections, while the southern half of the map rises into steep, densely contoured elevations. Without named settlements, roads, or structures, the map serves as a detailed record of the natural state of the Alaskan interior at the start of the 21st century. It highlights the vast, untouched geography that characterizes this remote region of the state.
