2017 Map of Unalakleet A-5 NE

About this map

Otter Creek meanders across the northern and western sections of this high-latitude Alaskan landscape, carving through a region defined by significant topographic relief and the rigid structure of the Public Land Survey System. The map documentation reveals a vast area of the Nome Census Area, largely devoid of named settlements or man-made infrastructure, where the natural drainage of Otter Cr provides the primary orientation for the terrain. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of Township and Range boundaries, such as t26s r13w and t27s r13w, which provide a grid for land management in this remote interior. The absence of roads or established buildings emphasizes the preservation of the raw landscape, where the shifting elevations and watercourses remain the dominant features for cartographic study.
