1952 Map of Cape Mendenhall

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Nunivak Island dominates this mid-century survey of Alaska's southwestern coastline, where the land meets the Bering Sea. The map documents a sparsely settled landscape defined by shifting sands and glacial topography, featuring extensive coastal formations such as the Bangookthleet Dunes and Nunathloogamiutbungo Dunes. Along the southeastern shore, the Nakooytoolekmiut (Site) marks a point of human history near Cape Mendenhall. Several water bodies, including the Duchikthluk River and Dahloongamiut Lagoon, drain the island's interior hills like Ingrijoak Hill and Jayalik Hill. This survey provides a record of the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge as it stood in the early 1950s, also noting the boundary between the Second Judicial Division and the Fourth Judicial Division running through the Etolin Strait.
