About this map

Seward Peninsula terrain dominates this landscape, defined by the winding course of the Cripple River and its various tributaries. As part of the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, the area is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Hoodlum Cr, Polar Bear Cr, and Mystery Cr. This particular survey illustrates the remote interior geography of the Northwest Arctic region, showing the complex topography and watershed patterns without the presence of modern roads or settlements. The drainage of Clifford Cr in the northeast corner further highlights the intricate water network that has shaped this protected environment. The map captures a moment in the 21st century where the land remains largely untracked, preserved in its natural state within the national preserve system.
