2017 Map of Bendeleben B-2 SW

About this map

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve occupies a central role in this portion of the Seward Peninsula, preserving a landscape that remains largely defined by its natural hydrology and high-elevation terrain. The Bendeleben Mountains rise prominently in the southern section of the quadrangle, where steep contour lines indicate a significant rise from the surrounding lowlands. This area is characterized by the headwaters of several drainages, including Wagon Wheel Cr and Lava Cr, which navigate the base of the mountain range. The absence of modern roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this region within the Nome Census Area, where the land is managed primarily for its ecological and historical significance as part of the ancient migration corridor between continents.
