About this map

Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge dominates the landscape of this 1952 coastal Alaska survey, revealing a remote terrain defined by its complex shoreline and island topography. The map documents the intricate network of waterways like the Kiyakyalikaamiut River and the Binajokamiut River, which drain into the Bering Sea. Along the southern coast, the distinctive landforms of Cape Mendenhall and the vast Dahloongamiut Dunes illustrate the dynamic geological forces at work on Nunivak Island.
