2014 Map of Shishmaref B-2 NE

About this map

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve occupies the southeastern corner of this map, representing a protected landscape that preserves a vital piece of the ancient migratory corridor between Asia and North America. The map documents the coastal interface of the Chukchi Sea and the Arctic Ocean, showing the transition into the tidal waters of Shishmaref Inlet. This area within the Alaska Nome Census Area is largely defined by its maritime boundaries and the low-lying coastal terrain characteristic of the Seward Peninsula. The survey details the township and range lines of t12n r32w and t11n r33w, providing a precise look at the land division in this remote stretch of the Alaska coast during the early twenty-first century.
