2014 Map of Teller C-1 NW

About this map

The Continental Divide defines the watershed in this northern section of the Seward Peninsula, separating the drainage systems of the interior from the coastal basins. A intricate network of glacial and tundra streams, including the prominent Budd Cr and its tributaries like Canyon Cr, carves through the undulating topography. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape where water is the primary architect, from the headwaters of Eldorado Cr to the isolated reaches of Pirate Cr. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the high-latitude wilderness character of the Nome census area, where place names like Gudrun Cr and Bismark Cr hint at the area's prospecting history and the influence of early twentieth-century arrivals.
