1952 Map of Cape Mendenhall D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Nunivak Island meets the cold expanse of the Bering Sea along this coastal stretch, where seasonal subsistence patterns are recorded in the topography of the early 1950s. The map identifies specific summer camps including Dahloongamiut and Kiyakyaliksamiut, settlements that reflect the traditional land use of the Cup'ig people. These camps are strategically positioned near freshwater and marine resources, with Dahloongamiut Lagoon and the Kiyakyaliksamiut River providing vital access to the interior and coastal environments. The coastal boundary is further defined by the wide expanse of Sand Beach, showing the transition from the volcanic island terrain to the shoreline. This survey, based on 1950 and 1952 aerial photography, preserves the nomenclature of a specific era of indigenous habitation and geographic naming on the island.
