About this map

The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve dominates this coastal landscape on the Seward Peninsula, protecting a vast stretch of Arctic tundra and maritime ecosystems. The coastline transitions from the open waters of the Chukchi Sea to a complex network of barrier islands and tidal lagoons. Moving inland, the terrain is defined by the Kugrupaga Inlet and the meandering path of Trout Cr, which drains toward the coast. This map illustrates the intersection of federal conservation lands and the administrative boundaries of the Nome Census Area. The absence of developed roads or settlements highlights the remote character of this region, where the natural hydrology and the expansive reach of the national preserve remain the primary features of interest.
