2017 Map of Norton Bay A-2 NW

About this map

The Nulato Hills dominate this portion of the Alaskan interior, forming a complex landscape of high ridgelines and drainages along the boundary between the Nome Census Area and Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The most prominent hydrologic feature is the North Fork Unalakleet River, which meanders through the central and eastern sections of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey reveals an area defined by its lack of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the precise topographical contours of the hills and the natural path of the river system. The map serves as a detailed record of the physical geography and public land survey divisions, including t15s r6w and t14s r7w, in a region where natural boundaries often dictate administrative ones.
