1952 Map of Cape Mendenhall D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Nunivak Island is documented here during the early 1950s, a period when the entire landmass was managed within the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is defined by its coastal hydrology and seasonal human presence, featuring the seasonal settlement at Chakwakamiut situated near the mouth of the Chakwakamiut River. Further south along the Bering Sea coastline, the map identifies the site of Binajoaksmiut, noted as an abandoned location near the Binajoaksmiut R. Interior features include Jayalik Hill and Jayalik Lake, providing a clear record of the island's drainage patterns and topographic landmarks like Binat-Ingrat Hill before significant modernization. The coastal periphery is marked by natural transitions such as Dunes and Boulder Beach, illustrating the intersection of volcanic terrain and the sea in the Alaska-Second Judicial Division.
