About this map

Quinhagak sits at the northern edge of this coastal landscape where the Kanektok River meets the Pacific Ocean. The village is defined by a network of local thoroughfares including Fish Plant Road, Carter Road, and a dedicated Boardwalk, indicating a community oriented toward the water and subsistence resources. South of the settlement, the terrain is dominated by a complex wetland system of tundra and interconnected waterways.

The hydrological character of the Bethel Census Area is captured through the winding paths of the North Mouth Arolik River and South Mouth Arolik River as they approach the coast. Inland, large water bodies like Tsingigkalik Lake and smaller streams such as Kikku Cr illustrate the drainage patterns of this low-lying region. These features, along with remote tracks like Arolik Road and John O Mark Road, document the local infrastructure used to navigate the coastal flats in the early 21st century.
