About this map

Izembek National Wildlife Refuge dominates this section of the Alaska Peninsula, showcasing a complex environment of lagoons and tidal flats where the Bering Sea meets the land. The topography is defined by the massive Big Lagoon and its smaller counterparts, Middle Lagoon and Little Lagoon, which are sheltered from Bristol Bay by the prominent sweep of Cape Glazenap. This coastal interface is a critical wildlife corridor, protected within the Izembek Wilderness.

Human activity is sparse but notable through small coastal markers such as Axel, Sula, and a Cabin located near the southern boundary. To the south, the terrain transitions toward Morzhovoi Bay and the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge, featuring landmarks like Boiler Point and the Isanotski Islands. The map illustrates a remote maritime landscape where tidal dynamics and protected wilderness areas supersede industrial or urban development.
