2017 Map of Unalakleet B-5 SE

About this map

Golsovia River dominates this interior portion of the Nome Census Area, carving a distinct valley through the northern Alaskan wilderness. The terrain is characterized by steep, closely spaced contour lines that reveal the high-elevation ridges typical of the Seward Peninsula’s transition toward the Norton Sound coast. In the southeastern corner, the headwaters of Otter Creek emerge from the high ground, providing a vital drainage point for the surrounding highlands. This 2017 survey reflects the vast, undeveloped character of the region, where the landscape is defined by its natural watercourses rather than human infrastructure or settlements. The lack of roads or established buildings underscores the area's isolation, making it a focused study of subarctic topography and the pristine drainage patterns of the Golsovia River system.
