1950 Map of Shishmaref B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Arctic Ocean and the Chukchi Sea define the northern limits of this coastal landscape on the Seward Peninsula. A narrow barrier island separates the open sea from the broad, shallow expanse of Shishmaref Inlet, creating a complex network of coastal lagoons and tidal flats. The interior terrain is a low-lying tundra environment dominated by countless unnamed thermokarst lakes and ponds, typical of the permafrost-affected regions of the Alaskan Arctic.
