2017 Map of Bendeleben B-4 NW

About this map

The Seward Peninsula landscape is defined by the expansive Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, a protected area within the Nome Census Area that preserves a critical prehistoric corridor. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex drainage network of the interior, where the Kuzitrin River meets its major tributaries. The confluence of the N Fork Kuzitrin River and S Fork Kuzitrin River marks a primary hydrological junction in a region devoid of permanent settlements or roads. In the southern portion of the map, Minnie Cr winds through the tundra, reflecting the low-lying, water-dominant character of this subarctic environment. The presence of the Northwest Arctic Borough boundary in the northeast corner highlights the administrative divisions of this remote Alaskan interior, largely unchanged by modern infrastructure.
