2014 Map of Kotzebue B-5 NE

USGS Topo · Published 2014

About this map

The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve dominates this remote landscape, protecting a massive volcanic and tundra ecosystem that once formed the vital corridor between Asia and North America. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of thermokarst ponds and drainage systems, most notably the meandering Espenberg River and its tributary, the W Fork Espenberg River. These waterways carve through the low-lying coastal plain, reflecting the dynamic permafrost processes that shape the Arctic environment. In the southeastern corner, the Killeak Lakes appear as significant inland water bodies, likely formed within ancient volcanic maar craters. The map reveals no roads or permanent settlements, instead documenting a wilderness of immense geological and archaeological importance where the ancient migration patterns of early humans and Pleistocene megafauna are etched into the very soil of the Seward Peninsula.
