About this map

Cape Krusenstern National Monument occupies the northern coastal reaches of this map, representing a significant protected landscape on the shores of the Chukchi Sea. This area is defined by the narrow Sheshalik Spit, a coastal landform that separates the open waters from the interior lagoons and serves as the site for the settlement of Sheshalik. Historically, this location has been a seasonal hub for subsistence activities, strategically positioned where the land meets the expansive Kotzebue Sound. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of the Alaska Northwest Arctic Borough, illustrating the delicate balance of coastal geography in this high-latitude environment before further modern shifts in the Arctic coastline.
