About this map

The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve occupies the central and northern sections of this terrain, protecting a landscape that was once part of the massive land bridge connecting Asia and North America. This remote area on the Seward Peninsula is characterized by the winding headwaters of Humbolt Cr and Ballarat Cr, which drain the southern slopes of the interior highlands. These waterways are key features of the watershed within the northernmost reaches of the Seward Peninsula, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaskan tundra before the streams merge into larger coastal systems. The lack of roads or established settlements on the map underscores the isolation and protected status of this arctic wilderness, where mapping is defined primarily by topography and natural watercourses.
