2014 Map of Candle B-5 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2014

About this map

Continental Divide crests through this remote stretch of the Seward Peninsula, forming a natural spine between the drainages of the north and south. The landscape is dominated by the prominent rise of Bear Mountain, which serves as a central landmark amidst a complex network of high-altitude waterways. Several significant streams originate or flow through this terrain, including Sweepstakes Cr and Wilson Cr, which carve paths through the undulating topography. Human presence is marked primarily by the Koyuk Hotsprings Road, which traces a route along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This path provides a rare corridor of transit through a region otherwise defined by its raw drainage systems, such as Granite Cr and Spring Cr, illustrating the challenges of navigation in this portion of the Nome census area.
