1950 Map of Teller D-2

About this map

The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve spans the northern reaches of this Alaskan terrain, where the Arctic River and Sanguich River drain through a complex network of coastal lowlands. To the south, the landscape rises toward the Continental Divide, a prominent ridge that governs the flow of numerous waterways such as Snowshoe Creek and East Portage Creek. The map documents a sparsely settled wilderness defined by its hydrology, capturing the transition from the upland divides to the marshy flats of the preserve.
