About this map

Independence Cr and Quartz Cr define the drainage patterns of this Arctic landscape in the Bendeleben region. The map captures a transition of unnamed high-latitude terrain where numerous small waterways, including Dominion Cr and Theresa Cr, carve through the Seward Peninsula interior. This 2017 survey details the complex network of creeks that feed into larger regional basins, illustrating the seasonal hydrology of the Northwest Arctic Borough.

While largely devoid of permanent human settlements or structures, the map provides precise locations for family-named or prospector-named features such as Pauline Cr and Dixie Cr. These labels reflect the history of exploration and small-scale resource assessment in the Alaskan bush, where individual watercourses served as the primary landmarks for navigation and land claims. The presence of Big Bar Cr and Goose Cr further emphasizes the remote, water-defined character of this territory.
