About this map

The Continental Divide traverses the northern heights of this Seward Peninsula landscape, marking a significant hydrologic boundary in a region defined by its arctic wilderness. In the southern half of the quadrangle, the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve protects a vast stretch of tundra where the Koyuk River winds through the lowlands. This watercourse is fed by numerous tributaries including Olivine Creek, Betula Creek, and Salix Creek, which drain the surrounding uplands. The map documents the boundary between the Northwest Arctic Borough and the Nome Census Area, reflecting the modern administrative divisions of this sparsely populated territory. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the remote nature of this environment, where the natural drainage patterns of Knowles Creek and its neighbors remain the primary geographical features.
