Metervik Bay and the northern reaches of Bristol Bay dominate this coastal landscape in the Dillingham Census Area. This 2019 survey documents the intricate topography of the Alaskan shoreline, where steep coastal bluffs rise sharply from the water to elevations exceeding 500 feet. The map highlights the transition from the sheltered waters of the inlet to the open expanse of the bay. Defined by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t15s r63w and t16s r63w, the terrain is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and tidal flats that illustrate the dynamic nature of the subarctic maritime environment. Researchers can trace the exact contour of the coast and the inland drainage patterns that feed into these significant western Alaska water bodies.
