2017 Map of Bendeleben A-4 NE

About this map

The Bendeleben Mountains dominate this section of the Seward Peninsula, where high-elevation drainage patterns define the landscape of the Nome Census Area. The Pargon River serves as the primary hydrological artery, winding through a complex network of tributaries including Dillon Creek, Boston Cr, and Helena Cr. A significant indication of human intervention in this remote environment is the Pargon Ditch, a linear feature cutting across the western slopes. This structure represents the region's historical reliance on water diversion for large-scale mining operations, a common engineering feat in the Alaskan interior where water was redirected from natural flows to support hydraulic mining. The map also records ಹಲವಾರು specific watercourses such as Baker Cr and Oregon Cr, which carve through the high-relief terrain of the Seward Peninsula.
