2017 Map of Bendeleben A-3 NE

About this map

The Bendeleben Mountains rise sharply in the northwest corner of this quadrangle, shaping the high-latitude drainage patterns of the Seward Peninsula. This interior landscape is defined by the winding course of the Fish River, which snakes through the central and southern sections of the map, fed by several smaller tributaries. These watercourses were vital for travel and prospecting across the peninsula, particularly the Wagon Wheel Cr and Boston Creek systems. The map illustrates a largely uninhabited expanse where topographic contours reveal the complex alpine terrain and the broad valley floors of the river basin, providing a detailed look at the geographical features that directed early exploration and modern land management in this part of Alaska.
