2014 Map of Norton Bay D-6 SW

About this map

Bering Sea waters meet the rugged shoreline of the Norton Sound in this coastal Alaskan study. The terrain is defined by the braided path of the Tubutulik River, which flows through low-lying wetlands into the Kwiniuk Inlet. To the east, the Kwik River carves its own course toward the sea, while smaller tributaries like Horseshoe Cr drain the higher elevations. This landscape reflects the complex hydrology of the Seward Peninsula, where shifting channels and numerous small ponds create a mosaic of aquatic environments. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System grid, dividing the territory into Townships 7 and 8 South, Range 15 and 16 West. These coordinates are essential for researchers tracking land ownership and regional boundary shifts in this remote maritime region.
