2019 Map of Nushagak Bay D-6 NE

About this map

The Kulukak River defines the drainage of this coastal landscape as it meanders through a network of wetlands toward the southern coast. This area of Southwest Alaska is characterized by significant topographical relief, with hills rising sharply above the expansive marshes and river plains. The land meets the sea at Bristol Bay, where the coastline curves into the sheltered waters of Kulukak Bay. This 2019 survey documents the intricate hydrologic patterns of the region, showing how the river system interacts with the tidal influence of the bay. The map illustrates the uninhabited nature of this terrain, where the primary features are the natural waterways and the elevation contours that shape the remote peninsula.
