1997 Map of Unikappi

About this map

Chuuk Lagoon dominates this survey, showcasing the complex coral reef structures and islands of the Faichuk group during the late twentieth century. The map details the islands of Pata and Polle, where small settlements such as Unikappi, Pukuan, and Wichap are connected by a network of trails. This era of Micronesian geography is marked by the transition of the region to the Federated States of Micronesia, with the interior of these islands featuring numerous schools and cemeteries near the coastal fringes. The maritime landscape is defined by extensive reefs like Ochonap and Fanufon, which enclose protected waters and smaller islets such as Onamue and Onanei. The placement of School and Cemetery symbols indicates the centers of local community life on these western islands of the lagoon.
