2016 Map of Survey Pass A-6 SE

About this map

The Mauneluk River winds through this interior landscape of the Northwest Arctic Borough, following a serpentine course across the northwest and central portions of the quadrangle. This 2016 survey, published by the U.S. Geological Survey, depicts a largely uninhabited territory defined by the river’s wide meanders and the presence of Avaraart Lake in the southwest. The terrain is characterized by high-elevation contours that rise sharply from the river valley, particularly in the eastern sections within t20n r15e and t19n r15e. The absence of developed roads or structures emphasizes the remote nature of this Arctic region during the early twenty-first century, providing a clear record of the untouched hydrology and landform patterns before any modern human encroachment.
