2016 Map of Shungnak D-1 SW

About this map

Kobuk River meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, creating a complex network of oxbow lakes and side channels across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The river serves as the primary hydrological artery, joined by the Mauneluk River flowing from the northeast. To the southwest, the Kuikcherk River cuts through lower-lying terrain, defining a region characterized by extensive wetlands and seasonal water bodies. This 2016 survey highlights the dynamic nature of the Arctic river systems, where the shifting courses of these major waterways continuously reshape the surrounding lowlands. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range lines, including t17n r11e and t16n r12e, which overlay a territory largely defined by its natural water features rather than permanent human settlements.
