1997 Map of Piis Moen

About this map

Piis Moen sits at the northern edge of the Chuuk Lagoon, defining a narrow arc of land between the interior waters and the open Pacific Ocean. This survey reveals a traditional settlement pattern concentrated on the eastern headland, where clusters like Nukan, Senipeu, and Sapatio are situated. The map illustrates how life on the atoll is closely tied to the water, with numerous named channels and reef features such as Mochun Pisininin and Mochonap marking the maritime boundaries.
