2014 Map of Teller C-1 NE

About this map

Kougarok Mountain dominates this portion of the Seward Peninsula, serving as a prominent landmark in a landscape defined by the Continental Divide. The drainage patterns here are complex, with headwaters for several significant systems originating in these highlands. Flowing north and east, McKinley Cr and the S Fork Serpentine River carve through the northern townships, while the southern slopes are drained by Washington Cr and Henry Cr. The presence of Pirate Cr and Bismark Cr underscores the area's history of mineral exploration and traditional subsistence, where small waterways often provided the only reliable routes through the interior. This 2014 survey captures the untouched character of the high country near Nome before any modern industrial footprint altered these remote watersheds.
