About this map

Nunapitchuk sits at the heart of this Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta landscape, characterized by an intricate network of tundra lakes and the meandering Johnson River. The settlement's connection to the wider region is documented through the presence of the Nunapitchuk Airport and the Old Kasigluk-Main Road, which suggests a history of overland and aerial transit in this water-dominant environment. Large bodies of water like Kayigyalik Lake and Nunavakunakslak Lake dominate the northern half of the survey, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Bethel Census Area. The southern margin of the sheet captures the edge of the Kasigluk Airport, indicating the proximity and relationship between neighboring villages in this remote part of Alaska. This 2017 data reflects the modern infrastructure laid over an ancient, shifting drainage pattern.
