2016 Map of Shungnak C-4 SW

About this map

The Kiliovilik Range dominates the southeastern quadrant of this terrain, where steep elevation gradients rise above the surrounding basin. This 2016 survey, produced using data from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Alaska Department of Transportation, illustrates the transition from the high ridges of the range to the lower-lying wetlands and hydrographic networks that define the northern sections of the map. The landscape is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries for t14n r4e, t14n r5e, t13n r4e, and t13n r5e providing a formal grid over the remote Arctic terrain. This map serves as a primary record of the topographic character of this portion of the Northwest Arctic Borough in the early twenty-first century.
