2016 Map of Shungnak C-3 SE

About this map

Kiliovilik Cr meanders through the high latitudes of the northern interior, defining a landscape marked by the complex hydrography of the Alaska-Northwest Arctic Borough. This 2016 survey reveals the untouched hydrology of the region as the creek flows westward through the upper sections of the quadrangle. To the south, the Selawik River cuts across the lower margin, indicating the drainage patterns that dominate this subarctic environment. The map provides a precise view of the terrain within the Public Land Survey System townships of t14n r8e, t14n r9e, t13n r8e, and t13n r9e. Devoid of modern infrastructure or permanent settlements, the area is characterized by high-elevation contours and the natural intersection of these two primary water bodies, which have long served as vital navigational markers for travelers in this part of Alaska.
