2015 Map of Candle B-2 SW

About this map

Kilusiktok Cr winds through this expanse of the Seward Peninsula, providing the primary drainage for a landscape defined by significant elevation changes. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation of the Candle B-2 SW quadrangle utilizes a 10-foot contour interval to map the complex topography across several townships, including t1s r6w and t2s r6w. The data, synthesized from the National Hydrography and Elevation Datasets, illustrates the remote hydrological patterns of the Nome region. While devoid of named settlements or roads, the map serves as a critical spatial record of the interior drainage systems and surveyed land divisions north of the Arctic Circle.
