About this map

The Eldorado River dominates this portion of the Seward Peninsula, where it winds through a broad, marshy valley characterized by intricate wetland patterns and numerous smaller tributaries. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex drainage systems of the Nome Census Area, where seasonal water flow from the higher elevations reaches the river basin through channels like Florence Cr and Mulligan Cr.

To the east, the terrain transitions into a series of ridges and valleys defined by the Pajara Cr and Beaver Cr systems. The map detail reflects the remote wilderness of the region, emphasizing natural landmarks such as San Jose Cr and Sunrise Cr rather than human settlements. This document is particularly useful for understanding the hydrography and topographical layout of the area north of Solomon, highlighting the contrast between the saturated lowlands of the river and the defined creek beds of the surrounding uplands.
