2015 Map of Shungnak B-6 SW

About this map

The Tagagawik River meanders across this northern landscape, forming a complex network of oxbows and wetlands characteristic of the Arctic lowlands. Surveyed in 2015, the map illustrates the intricate hydrography of the Northwest Arctic, where the river's path defines the shifting terrain between the local townships. Further east, the Ekiek Cr drainage flows through the tundra, carving subtle valleys into the surrounding hills. This topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey details the elevation changes and seasonal water bodies that dictate movement across this region, offering an essential look at the land's natural contours and boundaries such as t11n r2w and t10n r1w.
