2020 Map of Nunivak Island B-3 SE

About this map

Nunivak Island shorelines meet the Bering Sea in this 2020 topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by intricate coastal indentations and small offshore features. The northern coast is marked by the prominent reach of Dunulimjingia Point and the sheltered waters of Kangeekiksathluk Cove, while Kikartamjingia Point anchors the eastern coastline. Inland, the map captures a dense network of lakes and marshes that characterize the island's interior drainage, punctuated by low-lying terrain. The isolation of this Bering Sea environment is emphasized by the presence of Triangle Island just offshore, where the survey details the subtle elevation changes of the treeless tundra and coastal wetlands that have supported local subsistence for generations.
