2019 Map of Nushagak Bay C-3 NW

About this map

Igushik sits at the edge of the wetlands along the Igushik River, serving as a central point in this coastal Alaskan landscape. The terrain is defined by the elevation of Igushik Ridge, which rises above the surrounding marshlands and the broad expanse of Nushagak Bay. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by the Tunuing River as it meanders through the low-lying interior toward the coast. This 2019 survey documents a region where settlement is sparse and dictated by the tidal influence and the navigable waters of the bay, illustrating how the natural geography continues to shape human presence and transport in the Dillingham Census Area.
