2017 Map of Teller B-4 SW

About this map

Point Spencer defines the coastal character of this remote landscape, a narrow spit of land reaching into the waters where Norton Sound meets Port Clarence. This 2017 survey details a critical maritime and security outpost on the Seward Peninsula, anchored by the Port Clarence Coast Guard Station at the tip of the peninsula. The map illustrates a delicate balance of land and water, where the salt-streaked waters of Breving Lagoon and the winding course of Thompson Cr shape the northern boundary. Settlement is sparse, concentrated at the site of Port Clarence, which serves as a solitary focal point for navigation and logistics in the Nome Census Area. This chart records the state of these vital arctic facilities and the shifting coastal hydrology just before the close of the decade.
