2017 Map of Nome D-2 SW

About this map

The Home-Teller Highway/Bob Blodgett Highway cuts through the southern reaches of this landscape, providing a critical overland connection across the Seward Peninsula. This corridor follows the drainage of Livingston Creek, passing through a high-latitude environment defined by a dense network of watercourses. The northern terrain is dominated by the headwaters and upper valleys of the Feather River and Johnston Creek, while the eastern portion of the sheet is shaped by the Sinuk river system. These waterways, including American Creek and Ruby Creek, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Nome Census Area. The map reflects the modern infrastructure and hydraulic geography of the region, where roads are few and restricted to the narrow valleys between significant mountain ridges.
