2014 Map of Shishmaref A-2 NE

About this map

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve dominates the northeastern landscape of this coastal survey, where the tundra meets the complex tidal waters of the Seward Peninsula. The map details the transition from the low-lying terrain into the expansive Shishmaref Inlet, a critical geographic feature for understanding the coastal hydrology of the region. Inland, the Serpentine River meanders through the marshy flats, while a few terrestrial corridors such as Lane River Road and the route labeled Shi2005 provide the only named transit points across this sparsely populated wilderness. The arrangement of township boundaries and topographical contours illustrates the intersection of federal conservation lands with the traditional geography of northwestern Alaska.
