About this map

Serpentine Hot Springs serves as a remote focal point within the Bering Land Bridge National Monument, where the geothermal waters meet the arctic drainage of the Serpentine River. The landscape is defined by the Continental Divide and the prominent heights of Midnight Mountain, reflecting the high-latitude wilderness of the Seward Peninsula as it was documented in 1950.

Logistical activity in this remote region is evidenced by the presence of a Landing Strip near the hot springs and a network of specialized transportation routes, including a Winter Trail, Tractor Trail, and Dick Tractor Tr. Small-scale resource extraction is indicated by a solitary Mine along Little Macklin Cr, while numerous family or prospector-named waterways like Schlitz Creek, Bella Creek, and Macklin Creek provide essential landmarks for navigation across the tundra.
