2015 Map of Shungnak D-6 SE

About this map

Kuchuk Cr meanders across this northern landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dominated by a dense network of small lakes and ponds. This 2015 survey of the Shungnak D-6 SE quadrangle illustrates a permafrost-influenced terrain where water bodies are the primary geographical features across the township boundaries of t17n r1e, t17n r2e, t16n r1e, and t16n r2e. The lack of established road infrastructure or permanent settlements reflects the remote character of this portion of the Northwest Arctic Borough. The map's contour lines and hydrographic data provide a detailed representation of the low-lying wetlands and minor elevation changes that dictate the flow of smaller tributaries in the Kobuk River valley region.
