About this map

Hotham Inlet dominates the southern reaches of this Northwest Arctic landscape, serving as a significant coastal water body where the region's complex network of waterways eventually converges. The terrain is defined by a dense labyrinth of meandering sloughs and channels that segment the low-lying wetlands. Key arteries such as Nazuruk Channel and Mukuksok Channel weave through the delta-like environment, illustrating the natural hydraulic patterns of this remote coastal area. Attiunik Channel and Emansierak Channel further divide the land into a series of islands and peninsulas, highlighting a landscape where water and land are nearly indistinguishable. This survey captures a moment in the shifting hydrography of the Alaskan arctic, where seasonal changes and sedimentation constantly reshape the navigable paths through the inlet.
