2020 Map of Cape Mendenhall D-6 NW

About this map

Barabaras sits along the northern coast of Nunivak Island, appearing as a focal point of settlement in this 2020 topographic survey of the Bethel Census Area. The landscape is defined by the transition between the coastal tundra and the vast reaches of the Bering Sea. The Dahloongamiut River meanders toward the coast, providing a vital freshwater artery in this remote Alaskan environment. This map detail captures the geographic relationship between the seasonal or traditional sites and the surrounding waterways. The absence of modern infrastructure like highways or large industrial developments suggests a region where traditional land use and natural coastal processes remain primary. Researchers of Alaskan geography and indigenous land patterns can trace the precise positioning of Barabaras relative to the river mouth and the sea, offering a snapshot of this specific corner of the Bethel Census Area in the early 21st century.
