2014 Map of Shishmaref A-3 NW

About this map

The coastal interface of the Chukchi Sea and the Arctic Ocean defines this northern stretch of the Seward Peninsula. A narrow barrier island separates these open waters from the relatively sheltered Arctic Lagoon, which dominates the southern half of the map. This landscape is characterized by its isolation and the delicate hydrology of the Nome Census Area. The coastal topography shows a series of low-lying spits and beach ridges typical of this arctic environment, providing a detailed record of the shoreline's composition in the early twenty-first century. This survey documents the boundary lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t9n r37w, t9n r36w, t8n r37w, and t8n r36w, as they intersect with the shifting sands and waters of the Chukchi coast.
