About this map

The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve occupies a significant portion of this high-latitude terrain on the Seward Peninsula. This region is defined by an intricate drainage system where the Goodhope River and Cripple River flow through the tundra. These waterways are fed by numerous tributaries including Deep Cr, Blue Cr, and Bilge Cr. The map illustrates a remote landscape devoid of modern settlements, dominated instead by the natural contours of the land. In the southern reaches, Esperanza Cr and Cottonwood Cr carve through the topography, reflecting the hydrologic patterns of the Northwest Arctic. The survey provides a precise view of the undeveloped backcountry as it remained into the early 21st century, serving as a primary reference for the physical geography of this protected wilderness.
