About this map

Mariposa Gulch and Jack Wade Gulch are prominent landmarks in this interior section of the Seward Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of gold-bearing stream drainages. The Casadepaga River flows through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, collecting waters from numerous tributaries including Goose Cr and Goldmoon Cr. The terrain is marked by high-altitude features like Mt Dixon and significant creek systems such as Bonanza Cr and Sherrette Cr. This survey illustrates the complex hydrography of the Nome Census Area, capturing the drainage patterns that have historically shaped prospecting and travel routes in this part of Alaska. Small tributaries like American Cr and Woods-Willow Cr carve through the high ground, showcasing the transition from steep gulches to broader river valleys.
