Cape Etolin and the surrounding coastline of Nunivak Island define this 2020 coastal study. The map documents a sparsely populated but geographically distinct landscape where Etolin Bay meets the waters of the Bering Sea. To the south, the Mekoryuk River flows toward Shoal Bay, marking the southern extent of this quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by the Ooklik Dunes, a prominent coastal formation that shifts along the eastern shore. Transportation infrastructure is minimal, consisting primarily of Airport Way and Old Airport Road, which suggest proximity to local aviation facilities serving this remote part of the Bethel Census Area. The absence of traditional towns or industrial centers highlights the subsistence-oriented and natural character of this maritime environment.
