2014 Map of Candle B-2 NW

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-latitude terrain, marking a significant hydrologic boundary between the Northwest Arctic Borough and the Nome Census Area. This topographic study reveals a landscape defined by drainage patterns and elevation, with Kalusuk Cr flowing through the northwestern portion of the map. The boundary line between the borough and census area serves as a primary geographic anchor for researchers tracing regional administrative limits in this part of Alaska. While largely devoid of named settlements, the map provides detailed contours of the surrounding peaks and valleys, illustrating the natural transit corridors that follow the water courses like Kalusuk Cr away from the divide.
