2017 Map of Norton Bay B-2 SW

About this map

The Nulato Hills dominate this portion of the Alaskan interior, where the landscape is defined by the steep, rhythmic drainage patterns of the western subarctic. Flowing through the northwest corner, the North River serves as the primary hydrological feature of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey captures a remote wilderness straddling the border between the Nome Census Area and the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the isolation of this terrain, where the environment remains largely unchanged since early colonial exploration. This document provides an essential reference for understanding the physical geography of the region, including the precise boundaries of Township 13 South and Township 14 South.
