2017 Map of Norton Bay A-3 NW

About this map

Nulato Hills dominate this section of the Nome Census Area, where the topography is defined by the complex drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior. The landscape is carved by the winding course of Egavik Cr as it moves through the northern sections of the map, while the North River cuts across the southeastern corner. This 2017 survey reflects a wilderness area primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the grid of township and range boundaries such as t15s r9w and t16s r8w. The lack of road infrastructure or named settlements highlights the isolated nature of these uplands, providing a clear record of the region's natural hydrography and elevation before any modern development or significant human footprint was recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey.
