2017 Map of Nome C-3 SW

About this map

Norton Sound defines the northeastern reaches of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the waters of the Bering Sea meet the rugged shoreline. This 2017 survey delineates the jurisdictional boundary of the Alaska - Nome Census Area, following a diagonal path through several townships including t10s r39w, t10s r38w, and t11s r38w. The map illustrates a largely natural terrain dominated by intricate wetlands and tidal patterns along the coastline, reflecting the specialized environment of the Seward Peninsula. By focusing on the intersection of maritime features and administrative lines, the document provides a clear record of the region's geography before significant contemporary changes, serving as a baseline for tracing environmental shifts or land-use boundaries in this remote coastal district.
