2017 Map of Bendeleben B-4 NE

About this map

The Seward Peninsula interior is defined by a landscape of vast watersheds and protected wilderness, captured here before modern shifts in northern land management. This portion of the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve contains the winding headwaters of the South Fork Kuzitrin River, also labeled in parts as the S Fork Kuzitrin River. The terrain is characterized by complex contouring that reveals the drainage patterns of the Seward highlands, where unnamed tributaries feed into the larger river system. A significant administrative division is marked by the Northwest Arctic Borough Nome Census Area boundary, which bisects the map and underscores the remote nature of this arctic region. The absence of roads or permanent structures highlighted in this 2017 survey emphasizes the area's role as a preserved corridor for migratory patterns and geological study.
