2017 Map of Bendeleben A-1 SW

About this map

The Darby Mountains anchor the central topography of this landscape on the Seward Peninsula, where a complex network of streams and drainages defines the area's character. In the northeast, the dramatic nomenclature of Death Valley sits near the headwaters of the Tubutulik River, which flows southward along the eastern edge of the survey. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Big Cr cutting through the southern half of the quadrangle while smaller tributaries like Jones Pup Cr, Otter Cr, and Deacon Cr feed the northern watersheds. The area is marked by its lack of established settlements, reflecting a wilderness state defined by the intersection of mountain ridges and creek beds like Caribou Cr and Trail Cr. This 2017 data reflects the remote, undeveloped nature of the Nome Census Area, where the terrain is the primary feature of record.
