2014 Map of Candle B-3 SW

About this map

The E Fork Koyuk River winds through this interior landscape near Nome, creating a primary drainage pattern that dictates the topography of the surrounding hills. This 2014 survey captures a remote section of the Alaskan wilderness where human intervention is minimal, marked primarily by the presence of the Tipuktuliuraq Route in the southwestern corner. The terrain is defined by significant elevation changes, with ridges rising sharply from the river valley. The map is organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersections of several townships including t2s r9w and t2s r8w, which provide a structural grid over the seemingly untouched wilderness. This document is a clear record of the hydrography and high-altitude trails used to navigate the Seward Peninsula hinterlands in the early 21st century.
