About this map

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve encompasses most of this coastal Seward Peninsula landscape, where the tundra is defined by a dense network of thaw lakes and winding waterways. The Kalik River meanders southward through the central plains, while the Kitluk River flows along the eastern edge of the survey. The terrain is marked by the unique geology of the Devil Mountain Lakes, part of a volcanic maar system that creates distinct circular depressions in the low-lying permafrost. Towards the southwest corner, White Fish Lake sits amidst a complex of smaller unnamed ponds, illustrating the typical hydrology of this subarctic environment. The lack of roads or permanent structures reflects the protected and wild character of this region of Alaska, preserved as a corridor for understanding the ancient migrations between continents.
