2017 Map of Solomon D-5 NE

About this map

The Seward Peninsula landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Niukluk River and the Casadepaga River, which carve through the interior of this remote region. In this 2017 USGS survey, the intricate network of alpine drainage is evident through numerous named waterways such as American Creek, Bonanza Creek, and Big Four Creek. These names often recall the region's historical associations with prospecting and exploration, particularly in canyons like Ben Gulch and Empire Gulch. The topography rises toward prominent features like Bermudez Bluff and is punctuated by remote tributaries including Puckmummie Creek and Little Dixie Creek. The map provides a precise record of the hydrology and elevation within Townships 6 and 7 South, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of northwestern Alaska.
