About this map

The Peace River meanders through this remote portion of the Seward Peninsula, defining the drainage patterns for a series of northern tributaries. The landscape is marked by the winding courses of Sweepstakes Cr, Billy Cr, and Rube Cr, which descend from higher elevations in the north toward the central river valley. This U.S. Geological Survey topographic sheet illustrates the sparse infrastructure characteristic of the Nome region, centered around the Sweepstakes Road corridor.

Transportation in this area is limited to a few critical routes, including the Kotuk Hotsprings Road which skirts the western edge of the map. These tracks provide the primary access through the drainage basins of Dog Cr and Doc Cr, connecting remote interior points. The map provides a clear look at the township and range survey lines that divide this Alaskan wilderness, tracing the intersection of the T1S, T2S, and T3S boundaries.
