2017 Map of Nome D-2 NE

About this map

The Kigluaik Mountains dominate this portion of the Seward Peninsula, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and glacial legacy. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the prominent Glacial Lake, a water body that suggests the ancient ice movements that shaped these valleys. Water drainage patterns are central to the geography here, with the Cobblestone River winding through the eastern sections and the Oro Grande Creek cutting across the northern reaches. This 2017 survey provides an exacting look at the high-altitude terrain north of Nome, where features like Snow Gulch and Glacier Cr indicate the persistent cold-weather hydrology of the region. The map also delineates the transition between t6s r35w and surrounding townships, offering a precise reference for those studying the remote interior of the Nome Census Area.
