2014 Map of Shishmaref B-1 SE

About this map

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve encompasses the central landscape of this coastal Alaskan region, preserving a wilderness of thermokarst lakes and tundra. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small ponds and wetlands, characteristic of the Seward Peninsula’s permafrost-rich environment. In the southeastern portion of the map, the Cowpack River meanders through the lowlands, demonstrating the complex drainage patterns of this subarctic coastal plain. This 2014 representation emphasizes the topographical isolation of the area, where the lack of developed infrastructure underscores its status as a protected natural corridor. The map provides a precise account of the hydrography within t11n r31w, t11n r30w, t10n r31w, and t10n r30w, capturing the intricate relationship between the river system and the surrounding lacustrine features.
