2017 Map of Norton Bay C-2 NW

About this map

The Shaktoolik River meanders across the northern portion of this interior landscape, cutting through the elevation of the Nulato Hills. This terrain is defined by its lack of established settlements or road infrastructure, representing a remote reach of the Alaskan wilderness where the landscape is shaped primarily by natural drainage patterns and topographical relief. The map documents the boundary line between the Nome Census Area and the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, which runs north-to-south through the western sections of the grid. Researchers will find a pristine representation of the region's topography, useful for understanding the hydrological flow of the river as it moves toward the coast of Norton Bay beyond these hills.
