2014 Map of Kotzebue A-5 NE

About this map

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve encompasses the majority of this landscape, protecting a critical section of the Seward Peninsula’s northern reaches. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coastal wetlands and thermokarst lakes, reflecting the delicate permafrost environment of the Nugnugaluktuk River basin. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Pish River flows through a similarly intricate wetland system before reaching the coast. This 2014 survey captures a moment in the region's management, documenting the presence of the Me_unassigned_lane River Road, a primitive transport route that cuts across the western and central sections of the preserve. The mapping of township boundaries such as t9n r26w and t10n r25w provides the legal framework for this protected wilderness area.
