About this map

Golovnin Lagoon dominates this coastal landscape on the Seward Peninsula, serving as the central basin where the Fish River and Mudyutok River meet the sea. In the mid-twentieth century, life here revolved around the water and seasonal movement, evidenced by the prominent Winter Trail cutting across the frozen expanse and the various landing strips servicing remote outposts. The settlement of Golovin (Cheenik) stands near the mouth of the lagoon, while White Mountain sits further inland along the riverbanks, marked by its own Corp Bdy.
