About this map

Unalakleet sits at the edge of Norton Sound, marking a vital point of intersection where the Unalakleet River meets the Bering Sea. This 2016 survey shows the settlement's concentrated layout along Main Street, situated on the narrow spit of land that separates the river mouth from the coastal waters. The surrounding landscape is defined by a complex network of estuarine features, including Cramberry Slough and Marys Slough, which illustrate the dynamic hydrology of this subarctic environment.

Moving south from the town center, the Costal Route to Tolstoi Point follows the shoreline, providing access to remote coastal drainages such as Summer Cr, Jesse Cr, and Summer Camp Cr. The presence of features like Coral Lake amidst the coastal wetlands highlights the region's reliance on both maritime and freshwater resources. The map captures the interface between the Nome Census Area and the sea, documenting the infrastructure that supports life in this remote coastal community.
