2017 Map of Bendeleben A-4 SE

About this map

The Seward Peninsula interior is defined by a dense network of watercourses in this modern survey, highlighting a landscape shaped by drainage and mineral prospects. The convergence of numerous creeks, such as Ophir Cr, Utica Cr, and Crooked Cr, suggests a complex hydrologic system feeding into the Pargon River in the northeast. This area of the Bendeleben Mountains is characterized by evocative naming conventions, with Balm of Gilead Gulch and Snowball Cr providing distinct markers for navigation in an otherwise open terrain. Many of these waterways, including Bullion Cr and Gold Cr, bear names synonymous with the region's prospecting history, reflecting the search for resources that drove movement across the peninsula. The map provides precise topographic detail for those studying the physical geography or the legacy of mining claims in the Nome Census Area.
