2015 Map of Shungnak C-5 SW

About this map

Kawichiark River and the Selawik River define the lower elevations of this landscape in the Northwest Arctic region. The survey documents a remote stretch of Alaskan wilderness where high ridges and deep valleys are defined by an intricate network of drainage patterns. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Selawik River creates a meandering path through the floodplain, while the Kawichiark River flows through the central and western sections. This 2015 edition provides a detailed topological record of the terrain, showing the relationship between the high interior ridgelines and the significant river systems that dominate the drainage of this part of the Arctic.
