Norton Sound defines the southern portion of this coastal landscape, where the cold waters of the Bering Sea meet the Seward Peninsula. The shoreline is marked by the prominent Topkok Head and the expansive Taylor Lagoon, which acts as a transition between the open sea and the network of drainages to the north. Numerous creeks, including Santa Cruz Cr, Cache Cr, and Beaton Cr, flow southward through the uplands toward the coast. The naming of features like Lodestone Cr and Magnet Cr suggests a landscape historically surveyed with an eye toward its mineral potential, a common theme in the Nome Census Area. This 2018 U.S. Geological Survey representation documents the precise coastal contours and hydrological patterns of this sparsely settled territory.
