2017 Map of Solomon C-6 SE

About this map

Safety Sound and the barrier coast of the Seward Peninsula dominate this coastal survey, where the freshwater systems of the interior meet the tidal reaches of the Bering Sea. The landscape is defined by the braided path of the Bonanza River as it winds south toward Norton Sound, joined by numerous tributaries including Gold Run Cr, Ohio Cr, and Jackson Cr. This network of waterways suggests the complex drainage patterns of the Alaskan tundra during the early 21st century. Along the southern edge, the Council Road provides the primary overland transit corridor, tracing the narrow strip of land between the sound and the mainland. The map captures a moment in the region's modern geography, showing the persistence of traditional transport routes in a terrain heavily influenced by shifting seasonal waters and coastal morphology.
