USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Arctic Circle geography defines this 1950s-era study of the northern coast of the Seward Peninsula, where the Chukchi Sea meets the Arctic Ocean. The settlement of Shishmaref sits on Sarichef Island, acting as a gateway to the massive Shishmaref Inlet and the nearby Arctic Lagoon. This environment is characterized by complex hydrography, including the Serpentine River and Kugrupuk River, which drain into the tidal inlets.
