About this map

Golovin sits on a thin peninsula separating the tidal waters of Golovnin Lagoon from the open Golovnin Sound in this 2014 survey. The settlement's layout is clearly defined by several local thoroughfares, including Front Street, Nichols Street, and Harbor Road. This coastal landscape is dominated by shifting sand and water, evidenced by the prominent South Spit and the winding course of the Kachauik River as it enters the lagoon from the north. The presence of the Golovin Airport and the specialized Landfill Sewage Lagoon Road along the eastern shoreline provides a detailed look at the modern infrastructure supporting this remote Seward Peninsula community. Smaller water features like Cheenik Cr further define the local topography near the village, illustrating the complex relationship between the shoreline and the interior tundra.
