1952 Map of Cape Mendenhall

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Nunivak Island dominates this mid-century survey of the southern coast where the Bering Sea meets the Etolin Strait. The topography is defined by significant coastal sand formations, including the Nunathloogagamiutbingoi Dunes and Bangookbit Dunes, which wrap around the shoreline towards the prominent southern point of Cape Mendenhall. The map documents traditional habitation sites such as Kiyukyalikamiut and Nakooytoolekmiut, reflecting the presence of indigenous settlements within what is now the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge. The interior landscape rises toward landmarks like Ingrijioak Hill and Jayalik Hill, drained by the Chakwakamiut River and punctuated by Kuyun Lake. This chart also captures the maritime boundary between the Second and Fourth Judicial Divisions, marking a specific moment in Alaska's administrative history.
