About this map

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve dominates this portion of the Seward Peninsula, protecting a landscape where an ancient land bridge once connected Asia and North America. The terrain is defined by a dense network of braided waterways and coastal drainage systems, including the Nuluk River and Pinguk River. Smaller tributaries like Upkuarok Cr and Kagueruk Cr carve through the tundra, illustrating the intricate hydrology of this subarctic environment. This 2014 survey documents the wilderness character of the region, showing the lack of modern infrastructure and the preservation of a landform that remains central to understanding prehistoric migration and the natural history of the Arctic.
