2016 Map of Selawik B-6 SW

About this map

Choris Peninsula extends into the coastal waters of Northwest Arctic, separating Kotzebue Sound from Eschscholtz Bay. This 2016 survey illustrates the narrow land bridge and elevated terrain of the peninsula, which terminates at the southern tip known as Point Garnet. The surrounding waters are critical to the region's maritime character, featuring the protected Chamisso Anchorage situated just south of the peninsula's point. This map provides a detailed topographic view of the peninsula's isolation and its geographic role as a barrier between these two significant bodies of water, highlighting a landscape defined by dramatic coastal transitions and remote shorelines.
