About this map

Granite Mountain dominates this remote Seward Peninsula landscape, serving as a primary topographical anchor for a region defined by its complex drainage systems and high ridges. The Continental Divide winds through the terrain, separating the headwaters of the Kiwalik River and the Peace River. Evidence of mid-century activity is concentrated near the mountain, where a Radio Tower, a Landing Strip, and a Mine suggest a landscape geared toward resource exploration and communication. Numerous creeks, including Sweepstakes Creek, Anzac Creek, and Billy Creek, carve through the valleys between Weather Ridge and Gossan Ridge. A network of Tractor Trails provides the only visible land routes through this wilderness, connecting isolated points like a lone Cabin to the broader river systems.
