2017 Map of Norton Bay B-4 NE

About this map

The Shaktoolik River carves a winding path through the interior of the Seward Peninsula, defining the drainage patterns of this remote northern landscape. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the Norton Bay region, where several distinct tributaries contribute to the main river system. Notable among these are Diamond Cr in the northwest and Anakeksik Cr in the southeast, which cut through varied elevations marked by dense topographic contouring. The map serves as a primary record of the land divisions within the Nome Census Area, showing the intersections of several townships including t12s r10w and t13s r10w. With no roads or permanent settlements indicated, the map highlights the primary role of watercourses like Buck Cr as the dominant natural landmarks for navigation and land management in this Alaskan wilderness.
