2014 Map of Candle B-4 NE

About this map

The Continental Divide crests through this high-latitude terrain, marking a significant hydrologic boundary in the Alaskan interior. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of the W Fork Buckland River, which winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a remote section of the Seward Peninsula where the Northwest Arctic Borough meets the Nome Census Area. This administrative line bisects the territory, which is otherwise largely untouched by permanent infrastructure or settlements. Geographers and surveyors can study the complex drainage patterns and relief across several townships, including t1n r10w, t1n r9w, t1s r10w, and t1s r9w, providing a clear look at the undeveloped wilderness of the region during the early 21st century.
