About this map

The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve dominates this Arctic landscape, representing a protected wilderness that preserves a vital archaeological and geological corridor. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small lakes and tundra ponds, characteristic of the permafrost-influenced hydrology of the Seward Peninsula. Along the northeastern edge, the Fish River meanders through the flats, serving as a primary watercourse in this remote region. The map also delineates the administrative boundary between the Northwest Arctic Borough and the Nome Census Area, a line that bisects this uninhabited expanse of the Alaskan interior. This survey provides a precise record of the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours within a federally protected landscape that remains largely unchanged by modern development.
