2017 Map of Baird Inlet D-1 SW

About this map

Atmautluak serves as the central focal point of this 2017 survey, situated within a complex aquatic landscape of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The settlement is positioned near the Pikmiktalik River and the expansive Nunavakanukakslak Lake, illustrating the traditional reliance on riverine systems for transportation and subsistence in this part of Alaska. Connectivity to the wider region is maintained via the Atmautluak Airport, which is prominently marked on the northern edge of the village. The map detail highlights a labyrinth of meandering waterways, including the Johnson River, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This geography reveals the fluid nature of the terrain, where land and water are inextricably linked, defining the physical footprint and isolation of this rural community in the early 21st century.
