2017 Map of Norton Bay C-3 SE

About this map

The Nulato Hills dominate this portion of the Nome Census Area, characterized by a series of high ridges and deep drainages in the Alaskan interior. Running primarily north to south through the center of the terrain, Kingmetolik Creek serves as the primary hydrological feature, carving a valley between the surrounding slopes. This 2017 study illustrates a landscape defined by natural topography rather than human settlement, showing the complex contour patterns of the hills and the winding path of the creek. The map provides a detailed view of the remote drainage systems and the high-elevation terrain that characterizes this part of the Seward Peninsula hinterland, capturing the area in its modern state before any significant development or infrastructure altered the traditional landscape.
