About this map

Seward Peninsula terrain dominates this northern landscape, where the drainage patterns of the Boston Creek and Baker Creek systems carve through the high elevations of the Nome Census Area. This region of Alaska is defined by its dramatic relief and glacial-cut valleys, illustrated here through the complex meandering of Boston Creek as it moves south. The confluence of smaller tributaries like Oregon Creek reflects a wilderness that remains largely undeveloped, mapped here with precision following the Public Land Survey System grids of t3s r23w and t4s r23w. For the historian or geographer, these waterways provide the primary landmarks in an area where the topography itself serves as the chief record of the land.
