2014 Map of Teller D-1 SW

About this map

The Continental Divide carves a significant path through this portion of the Seward Peninsula, separating the drainage systems of several key arctic waterways. In this high-latitude terrain, the headwaters of the S Fork Serpentine River and its various tributaries, including Quartz Cr and Fox Cr, flow north and east while E Portage Cr marks the beginning of a separate westward watershed. The intricate hydrography shown here, including Lincoln Cr and Teller Cr, reveals a landscape defined by water-driven erosion patterns through the upland tundra. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise topographic look at the remote interior where few signs of human infrastructure exist, focusing instead on the complex natural boundaries and the relentless movement of water across the Alaskan divide.
