Cape Mendenhall marks the southern reach of this coastal landscape on Nunivak Island, where the Bering Sea meets a complex network of wetlands and tidal inlets. The topography is defined by the Bangookthleet Dunes and the prominent Ingrijoak Hill, which rises above the surrounding flats. This 2020 survey reveals the natural drainage patterns of the Duchikthluk River as it empties into Duchikthluk Bay. The presence of Kaksajookalik Island just offshore illustrates the gradual transition between the island's terrestrial ecosystems and the marine environment. This map is a primary resource for understanding the contemporary geomorphology of this specific sub-arctic coastline, capturing the intricate shoreline and elevation changes across the Cape.
