1951 Map of Cape Mendenhall

About this map

Nunivak Island emerges from the Bering Sea in this 1951 provisional compilation, documenting the remote southern coastline of the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge. The map serves as a critical record of the region's indigenous geography during the mid-century, specifically highlighting the settlements of Kwigamiut and Ingeramiut near the southern point of Cape Mendenhall. These coastal outposts represent the human presence in a landscape defined by its interaction with the Etolin Strait and the vast subarctic waters.
