2016 Map of Shungnak C-3 SW

About this map

Kiliovilik Range dominates the southern landscape of this Northwest Arctic quadrangle, showing a dramatic transition from the high peaks of the range down into a vast network of wetlands and small ponds to the north. These drainage patterns are primarily fed by the Kiliovilik Cr, which meanders through the northern sections of the survey. Mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a land defined by its hydrological complexity, where numerous unnamed lakes and marshes break the terrain between the mountain slopes and the creek bed. This 2016 data reflects the remote character of the region, emphasizing the natural topography and water systems within the townships of t14n r6e, t14n r7e, t13n r6e, and t13n r7e without the presence of permanent human settlements or infrastructure.
