About this map

Norton Sound defines the northern reaches of this coastal landscape along the edge of Pastol Bay. The terrain transitions from open water into a complex network of wetlands and tidal flats, where the Pastoliak River winds through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. A distinct elevation change is found at Hogback Hill, which rises above the surrounding marshlands to provide a rare prominent landmark in this predominantly low-lying delta environment. The map captures the intricate hydrology of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century, illustrating the numerous small lakes and ponds that dominate the tundra east of the river's path.
