2016 Map of Kotzebue D-2 NE

About this map

Kotzebue serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, situated on the Baldwin Peninsula where the land meets the expansive Kotzebue Sound. The town's grid is clearly defined, with major thoroughfares like Shore Avenue, Second Avenue, and Ted Stevens Way connecting the community to vital infrastructure. The presence of the Ralph Wien Memorial Airport and Fishing Camp Road highlights the area's dual reliance on modern aviation and traditional subsistence activities. To the south of the settlement, the Kotzebue Cem and the waters of Vortac Lake provide localized landmarks within the tundra landscape. This document captures the footprint of the region's largest hub as it appeared in the mid-2010s, showing the intersection of local roads and the untamed coastal environment.
