About this map

The coast of Norton Sound meets the expansive drainage basins of the Seward Peninsula in this 2017 study of the terrain northwest of Nome. The landscape is defined by its significant waterways, notably the Snake River and Penny River, which transition from upland streams into wide, meandering coastal channels. These rivers are fed by numerous tributaries such as Negsue Cr, Sunset Cr, and Honey Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Alaskan tundra.

Overland travel is dominated by the Nome-Teller Highway/Bob Blodgett Highway, which cuts across the northern interior toward more mountainous terrain. To the north, prominent topographical markers like Cone Mtn and Monument Rock provide navigational reference points above the lower wetlands. The presence of Goldpan Gulch and Katie Drive near the eastern margin suggests localized activity and access points within this largely open coastal environment.
