About this map

The Seward Peninsula landscape is dominated here by the northwest corner of the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, a protected area that preserves a vital piece of North American natural history. The terrain is characterized by a series of drainages that flow from the highlands toward the coast, including Sullivan Cr, Iron Cr, and Mystic Cr. The southern portion of the map shows the convergence of several waterways, where the Pinnell River meets the Inmachuk River near Logan Gulch.

Human activity is sparse and concentrated primarily along the Deering Road, which follows the river valley in the southeast. This route serves as the primary corridor through the area, passing by Fink Creek and Arizona Cr. The presence of these named water bodies and the single roadway illustrates the transition from the upland interior of the peninsula toward the coastal settlements located further north.
