About this map

The Seward Peninsula landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and high-altitude contours in this remote region of the Northwest Arctic Borough. The hydrology of the area is anchored by Hunter Lake and a series of winding watercourses including Hunter Cr, Linda Cr, and Connolly Cr. These features demonstrate the natural drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior, where seasonal runoff and permafrost influence the geography. The absence of built infrastructure or named roads emphasizes the untouched character of the terrain during this period. Researchers can trace the pathways of Coal Cr as it navigates the high elevations, providing insight into the physical geography of the peninsula's interior before modern development or climate shifts altered these northern waterways.
