About this map

Hotham Inlet and the eastern edge of the Baldwin Peninsula dominate this coastal survey of the Northwest Arctic. The geography is defined by a complex network of estuarine waters where the Mukuksok Channel and Attiunik Channel weave through low-lying coastal terrain. These channels lead to prominent landforms such as Mukuksok Point and Attiunik Point, which mark the transition between the inlet's open waters and the interior reaches of Selawik Lake.

Produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by significant hydrological flux. The relationship between the peninsula and the surrounding inlets reveals the natural points of navigation and land access in a region where water is the primary corridor. The absence of industrial development highlights a wilderness character preserved into the early twenty-first century, providing a baseline for environmental study and coastal change analysis.
