About this map

Nelson Lagoon serves as the primary hub of human activity in this coastal region of the Alaska Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the shifting interface of water and tundra. Situated along the southern shores of Bristol Bay, the area is etched by the meandering paths of the Caribou River and Sapsuk River as they flow toward the sea. The geography is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and small lakes, including the prominent Coast Lake situated behind the barrier shoreline. To the south, the terrain rises slightly toward Happys Hill, providing a rare point of elevation in a landscape otherwise dominated by low-lying tidal flats and lagoons. This modern survey captures the intricate drainage patterns and coastal boundaries of a region where the traditional economy remains deeply tied to the rhythms of the Bering Sea and the surrounding waterways.
