About this map

The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve dominates this Arctic landscape on the Seward Peninsula, protecting a region defined by its role as a prehistoric land bridge between Asia and North America. The topography is shaped by the winding course of the Arctic River, which meanders across the central and northern reaches of the sheet. Numerous tributaries feed this drainage system, including Sango Cr and the westward-flowing Bluff Cr. In the eastern section, Mission Cr flows northward, paralleling the preserve boundary. This 2014 survey illustrates the complex natural drainage patterns of the tundra, where small watercourses like Goose Cr cut through the permafrost-influenced terrain. The lack of man-made infrastructure or settlements emphasizes the protected status of this wilderness area, preserving the same hydrological network encountered by earlier explorers and indigenous inhabitants of the Bering Strait region.
