About this map

Manokotak sits at the edge of a massive marshland landscape, its higher ground rising sharply above the winding Igushik River. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of the village to the complex hydrology of Southwest Alaska, where the river meanders in tight oxbows through thousands of small ponds and wetlands. Infrastructure is concentrated around the village core, including the Manokotak Heights Road and the 2nd Street / Airport Access Road, which connects the community to essential transport links. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the low-lying river basin and the sudden elevation of the hills immediately surrounding the townsite. This topography dictates the layout of the settlement, keeping development on the firm terrain of the northeastern corner while the rest of the quadrangle remains an untouched network of water and tundra.
