1952 Map of Cape Mendenhall D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Nunivak Island is characterized by a landscape of coastal dunes and complex hydrology within the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge. The map details the southwest coast along the Bering Sea, where the Chakwakamiut River meets the shore at the seasonal settlement of Chakwakamiut (Summer Camp). The inland terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Jayalik Hill and Binat-Ingrat Hill, interspersed with countless small lakes and the winding Jayalik River. To the east, the mouth of the Binajoakamiut R lies near Binajoakamiut (Aband), suggesting a shift in local habitation patterns. This 1952 survey, which was not field-checked, provides a record of the island's natural drainage and coastal features before late-twentieth-century revisions, including the expansive Boulder Beach and the shifting Dunes of the shoreline.
