2014 Map of Norton Bay D-4 SW

About this map

Akulik River and the Inglutalik River dominate this coastal landscape as they wind through low-lying marshlands toward the eastern edge of Norton Bay. This 2014 survey captures a shifting interface between freshwater drainages and the Bering Sea, characterized by complex oxbows and numerous unnamed ponds. The only major evidence of infrastructure in this area is the Koyuk Inglutalik River Road, which traverses the northern section of the map, providing a vital land link across the tundra. The map is a detailed record of the hydrography near the Seward Peninsula, showing the natural progression of river channels as they approach the coast in a region largely defined by its lack of permanent settlements.
