2020 Map of Nunivak Island A-2 NW

About this map

Nooravloaksmiut Island sits as a prominent landform along the western coast of Nunivak Island, separated from the primary shoreline by the waters of the Bering Sea. The coastal geography is defined by the outlet of the Kaliksneethnoo River, which meanders through a low-lying landscape of wetlands and tidal flats. This 2020 map documents a remote stretch of the Bethel Census Area where the land meets the sea in a complex network of shifting shorelines and riverine channels. The area is marked by its isolation, with the survey focusing on the natural hydrography and terrain of the island's coastal periphery. Modern topographic data provides clear detail of the river's path and the distinct separation of the smaller island from the mainland, offering a precise look at this section of the Bering Sea coast.
