2014 Map of Kotzebue C-6 SW

About this map

Chukchi Sea waters dominate the northern reaches of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the shifting boundaries of the Nome Census Area meet the shoreline. The map centers on a significant portion of the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, a protected area established to safeguard the prehistoric corridor between continents. Along the southern edge, the waters of Shishmaref Inlet provide a critical transition between the open sea and the mainland, near the coastal feature of Kividlo. This 2014 survey documents the modern coastal contours and the administrative divisions of townships t13n r29w and t13n r28w, showing a landscape defined by its marine proximity and federal preservation status.
