1952 Map of Cape Mendenhall D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Nunivak Island meets the Bering Sea along this coastal stretch of the Alaska Territory, surveyed shortly after the Second World War. The shoreline is characterized by seasonal habitation sites and small watercourses, including the Kiyakyaliksamiut River and the sheltered waters of Dahloongamiut Lagoon. These landmarks reflect the subsistence patterns of the region, where coastal camps provided access to marine resources during the warmer months. The presence of Dahloongamiut (Summer Camp) and Kiyakyaliksamiut (Summer Camp) documents specific locations used for these traditional seasonal activities. To the east, a long Sand Beach borders the southern edge of the island, highlighting the transition from the rugged interior terrain to the open sea.
