2020 Map of Nunivak Island A-4 NE

About this map

Ikathiwik Crater dominates the northern uplands of this landscape on Nunivak Island, illustrating the volcanic foundations of the Bering Sea coast. The terrain transitions from these elevated volcanic forms to a complex network of wetlands and small lakes in the south, characteristic of the island's drainage patterns. Kimijooksuk Butte stands as a prominent landmark in the east-central region, providing a significant vertical break in the otherwise undulating tundra. This 2020 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the wilderness area within the Bethel Census Area, recording the precise topography and hydrography before any major environmental shifts. The map is primarily defined by its natural features, with no modern infrastructure or permanent settlements indicated, reflecting the preservation of the indigenous landscape.
