About this map

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve dominates the western interior of this remote Arctic landscape in the late 2010s. The terrain is defined by the high, winding path of the Continental Divide as it cuts across the southern and eastern quadrants, separating local watersheds. The Kugruk River flows through the center and northwest, fed by smaller tributaries like Circle Cr that drain the high ground. This survey illustrates a wilderness nearly devoid of human development, where geographic landmarks like Kettle Dome serve as the primary navigational anchors. The lack of roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this portion of the Seward Peninsula, preserved as a vast protected corridor between the Chukchi and Bering Seas.
