2014 Map of Norton Bay D-4 NW

About this map

Koyuk River meanders across the northwestern portion of this 2014 survey, carving a broad, watery path through the low-lying terrain. The map documents a sparsely populated landscape near the Norton Bay coast, where transportation is defined by isolated terrestrial routes like the Koyuk Road To E Fork and the Koyuk Inglutalik River Road. These trails suggest the historical and contemporary importance of overland passage between local waterways in this subarctic environment. To the southeast, the Akulik River provides a secondary drainage system, illustrating the intricate network of wetlands and small ponds that dominate the Seward Peninsula's topography. The lack of named settlements emphasizes the area's character as a wilderness corridor for resource access and travel between regional hubs.
