1954 Map of Baird Inlet B-8

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Nelson Island dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its intricate network of tidal sloughs and coastal marshes. The settlement patterns shown here reflect the seasonal subsistence rhythms of the region, anchored by the permanent village of Nightmute along the Toksook River. Further inland and along the coast, seasonal sites like Knugormiut Summer Camp and Nyortulermiut Summer Camp indicate how the local population moved across the tundra to utilize coastal resources. The map also identifies the Kanloyak (Site) near the river bend, marking an important location for genealogical and historical research. Bordered by the Etolin Strait and the Kolavinarak River, this area forms part of the Clarence Rhode National Wildlife Range Area No 2, highlighting the intersection of traditional land use and federal conservation efforts during the 1950s.
