2017 Map of Saint Michael A-2 NW

About this map

Point Romanof stands as the primary landform on this coastal portion of the Kusilvak Census Area, where the marshy tundra of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta meets the sea. The geography is defined by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies that lead toward the shores of Norton Sound and Pastol Bay. The map captures the transition from the open Pacific Ocean into the shallow, silt-heavy waters characteristic of the western Alaskan coastline. Moving inland, the drainage of Chakleyvik Creek provides a navigable reference point through the low-lying terrain. This 2017 survey reflects a landscape largely dictated by natural hydrology and shoreline shifts, showing the absence of permanent roads or settlements in this particular reach of the Bering Sea coast.
