2017 Map of Nome D-1 NW

About this map

Kigluaik Mountains dominate this portion of the Seward Peninsula, forming a high-relief divide between major drainages north of Nome. High peaks such as Mt Osborn and Tiġaraha Mtn overlook a glaciated landscape defined by sharp ridges and significant water sources like Crater Lake. The drainage network is complex, with the Cobblestone River flowing to the west while the N Fork Grand Central River and W Fork Grand Central River converge in the northeast. Access through this challenging terrain is marked by Mosquito Pass, a critical topographic notch between the Windy Cr and Sinuk valleys. The map illustrates a wilderness landscape where name density is highest along watercourses like Thompson Cr and Buffalo Cr, which serve as primary landmarks for navigation and resource exploration in the region.
