1952 Map of Cape Mendenhall D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Nunivak Island is depicted here along the southern shoreline of the Bering Sea, showing a landscape of dunes and volcanic hills as it was recorded in the mid-20th century. This area, largely defined by the Nunivak Wilderness and the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, remains a critical intersection of indigenous seasonal land use and federal conservation. Of particular note for local historians and researchers are the labeled indigenous sites, including Chakwakamiut (Summer Camp) near the mouth of the Chakwakamiut River and the Binajoaksmiut (Site) located further east at Boulder Beach. The drainage patterns of the Jayalik River and the elevation of Binat-ingrat Hill provide a clear view of the island's unique topography, where hydrology and traditional subsistence locations are closely linked.
