2016 Map of Shungnak C-3 NW

About this map

The Sheklukshuk Range dominates this portion of the Northwest Arctic, where the terrain transitions through a series of significant elevation changes within the t15n r7e and t15n r6e survey areas. This 2016 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, details a landscape primarily defined by its topographic complexity rather than human infrastructure or settlements. The lack of roads or established townships reflects the wilderness character of this region during the early twenty-first century. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns and ridge lines that define the local geography, providing a precise record of the landforms before any modern development or significant environmental shifts altered the region's profile. The map serves as a primary reference for the Public Land Survey System boundaries across these remote townships.
