About this map

The Continental Divide traverses the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a significant hydrologic boundary in the Nome region. In this high-latitude environment, the drainage patterns of several tributaries define the terrain, most notably the S Fork Serpentine River which winds through the southwestern corner. These waterways, including McKinley Cr and Lone Butte Cr, follow the contours of a region primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the township and range boundaries of t5n r31w and t6n r31w. The map emphasizes a landscape shaped by water and elevation rather than human settlement, providing an essential record of the natural topography in the early twenty-first century. This survey is particularly useful for understanding the exact positioning of small drainages like Grayling Cr and Bryan Cr relative to the divide.
