2014 Map of Candle A-3 NW

About this map

The Nigikmigoon River winds through the southeastern and southwestern quadrants of this terrain in the Nome region, defining the drainage patterns of the Seward Peninsula. This 2014 survey captures a remote landscape where the Tipooktulearuk River cuts across the western sections, eventually converging with larger drainage systems. The presence of the Tipuoktulearuk Route in the northwest corner suggests a corridor for overland travel through the tundra, likely utilized for seasonal access or resource management. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey using data from the Alaska Dept. of Transportation and the BLM, the map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System, including t3s r9w and t4s r8w, which are essential for contemporary land management and historical tracking of territorial boundaries.
