2014 Map of Teller D-4 SE

About this map

The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve occupies the northern reaches of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the tundra meets the Seward Peninsula's complex drainage systems. Two primary watercourses, the Nuluk River and the Kugrupaga River, dominate the hydrology of the area, winding through low-lying terrain characterized by subtle elevation changes and numerous smaller tributaries. This 2014 survey documents the remote backcountry north of Nome, emphasizing the natural boundary lines of township and range subdivisions like t6n r38w and t5n r37w. The network of seasonal streams, including Deep Cr and Cooper Cr, illustrates the intricate flow patterns essential to this subarctic environment, providing a technical record of the land's physical geography before modern climatic shifts further alter the permafrost-dependent terrain.
