About this map

The Seward Peninsula interior is defined by a landscape of high-latitude hydrology and dramatic relief within the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate drainages of the Goodhope River and its tributaries, including Bilge Cr and Cottonwood Cr, as they navigate the varied topography of the Northwest Arctic. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the northern reaches of Imuruk Lake, the largest lake on the peninsula, which sits just south of the Continental Divide.

Geological features such as Skeleton Butte and the smaller Lake Cloud punctuate the northern heights, providing distinct landmarks in this undeveloped wilderness. The presence of the Continental Divide crossing through the preserve marks a critical hydrological boundary where water begins its journey toward distinct coastal basins. This map serves as a primary reference for the drainage patterns of Carex Cr and the complex elevations that characterize this protected region of the Alaskan Arctic.
