2014 Map of Norton Bay C-5 SW

About this map

The vast waters of the Bering Sea dominate this coastal survey, where the Alaskan shoreline meets the Norton Bay. The most prominent landmark on this stretch of coast is Point Dexter, a distinct headland where the land abruptly meets the sea. Just inland from the point, the Reindeer Hills rise as the primary topographic feature, providing a rare elevation gain in a region defined by its marine proximity. The map illustrates the sparse, uninhabited character of the area in the early 21st century, with the landscape divided primarily by township and range lines such as t11s r14w and t11s r13w. This is a study of a remote coastal boundary where the terrain remains largely untouched by modern infrastructure.
