About this map

The Bendeleben Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape, rising to peaks such as Mount Boyan. North of these heights, the terrain transitions into a complex volcanic field characterized by recent geological activity. Features like Lost Jim Cone, Gosling Cone, and the Twin Calderas mark this lava-strewn expanse, punctuated by Sandy Lake and the substantial Kuzitrin Lake.

Surface drainage is defined by several headwaters, including the South Fork Kuzitrin River and the eastern flow of the Koyuk River. This 1950 aerial-derived survey captures the area in a raw, unpopulated state, highlighting the natural hydrological and volcanic patterns that define the Seward Peninsula interior. Named landmarks such as The Bat and Sturgeon Ridge provide fixed points of reference in an otherwise vast, untracked wilderness where the Boston Creek and Fish River also take their course.
