About this map

Kiwalik sits at the junction of the open sea and tidal waters along the southern reaches of Kotzebue Sound. This coastal survey highlights the dynamic interface where Minnehaha Creek and Kirk Creek flow toward the protected waters of Kiwalik Lagoon. The landscape is defined by its transition from the marine environments of Spafarief Bay to the marshy lowlands protected under the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The settlement of Kiwalik is positioned strategically near the mouth of the lagoon, serving as a historical point of interest for those studying the maritime and transit history of the Northwest Arctic. The map's detail provides a clear view of the complex shoreline and drainage patterns typical of this subarctic coastal region.
