2017 Map of Bendeleben A-6 NW

About this map

The Kuzitrin River winds through the heart of this Seward Peninsula landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and oxbows within the Nome Census Area. This 2017 survey captures the modern infrastructure of the Kougarok Road/Nome-Taylor Highway as it traverses the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a vital corridor through the subarctic terrain. Significant topographic landmarks rise above the river valley, including the prominent Birch Hill and the distinctively named Hen and Chickens Mtn to the south. Tributaries such as Ptarmigan Cr, Little Ptarmigan Creek, and Hooligan Cr drain the surrounding highlands, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the region. The map provides a clear look at the township and range system, specifically the intersection of T3S and T4S with R30W and R31W, anchoring these natural features within the legal surveying grid of interior Alaska.
