2015 Map of Candle B-3 SE

About this map

The Continental Divide defines the northern reaches of this landscape, separating the drainage systems in a region of the Seward Peninsula defined by its high-latitude watercourses. The Nigikmigoon River flows prominently through the central and southern portions of the map, carving a path through the terrain as it heads toward its eventual confluence. To the northwest, the headwaters of the E Fork Koyuk River begin their descent, while Kilusiktok Cr marks the northeastern corner. This 2015 survey, published by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates the complex hydrologic network of this remote interior, where the primary geographical markers are the named rivers and the significant topographical barrier of the divide itself.
