About this map

The Bendeleben Mountains dominate this 2017 survey area on the Seward Peninsula, where high elevations like Mt Ost overlook a network of creek drainages. The landscape is characterized by its steep, contour-heavy terrain in the northern sections, which gives way to broader valleys in the south. These valleys are defined by the courses of Wagon Wheel Cr, Lava Cr, and Telephone Cr, each carving through the remote Alaskan interior.

While largely devoid of permanent settlements or modern road infrastructure, the map provides a clear look at the hydrologic patterns and topographic relief within the boundaries of t3s r21w and t4s r20w. The presence of Windy Cr in the southeast corner further illustrates the intricate drainage systems that define this part of the Nome Census Area, serving as a primary reference for the physical geography of the region as it existed in the early 21st century.
