About this map

Golovnin Lagoon and the surrounding coastal tundra of the Seward Peninsula appear here during a mid-century era of remote transport and communication. The landscape is defined by the massive delta of the Fish River and Mudyutok River, where intricate waterways meet the tidal flats. Settlement is sparse, focused on small outposts like White Mountain and the coastal village of Golovin (Cheenik).

A lengthy Telephone Line and various stretches of Winter Trail provide the primary overland connectivity, tracing routes across the mudflats and river systems. Aviation infrastructure is vital for this isolated region, evidenced by the White Mountain Landing Strip and Golovin Landing Strip. Local survival and industry are marked by sites like Council Landing, a Fishing Village, and several small cabins, while the presence of a Cem near Cheenik Creek provides a point of interest for those researching local family history.
