2015 Map of Shungnak D-6 NE

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park encompasses the northern reaches of this topographic study, where the land rises into the southern slopes of the Baird Mountains. The drainage of Kichai Cr marks the western edge of the quadrangle, carving through a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and the complex drainages typical of the Northwest Arctic. This 2015 edition provides a clear record of the public land survey system divisions across the region, detailing townships T19N, T18N, and T17N within Ranges 1E and 2E. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the wilderness character of the territory during this period, offering a precise view of the topography before any modern infrastructure was established in this specific corridor of the Arctic.
