Koyuk sits at the head of the Koyuk Inlet on the southern coast of the Seward Peninsula, where the Koyuk River meets the Bering Sea. This 2014 survey captures a northern coastal settlement defined by its relationship to the water and a network of specialized access roads. The local geography is shaped by the tidal influences of the inlet and the winding courses of the Miniatulik River and Mukluktulik River. A look at the infrastructure reveals the practical necessities of life in this part of Alaska, featuring the Koyuk Airport and local thoroughfares like Barge Access Road and King Creek Road. Further inland, the map traces the Koyuk Hotsprings Road and Devil's Mountain Road, suggesting the routes taken for resource access and travel into the interior toward the Road to E Fork.
