2017 Map of Nome D-3 SW

About this map

Norton Sound defines the western coastline of this remote Seward Peninsula landscape, where the waters of the Bering Sea meet the rugged Alaskan shore. The terrain is characterized by a low-lying coastal plain that gradually rises into upland ridges in the southeast, a transition marked by the prominent landmark of Cape Woolley. This coastal area is intersected by a network of tundra waterways, including the Feather River and Fairview Cr, which meander toward the sea. The mapping reveals a land largely defined by its natural drainage patterns and the lone transit artery of Wooley Lagoon Road, reflecting the sparse human footprint in this subarctic environment. For those studying the geography of the Nome region, the map provides precise locations for small drainage systems like Crete Cr and Igloo Cr as they appeared in the early 21st century.
