1952 Map of Nunivak Island A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Nunivak Island's eastern coastline meets the Etolin Strait in this early 1950s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by traditional Indigenous habitation patterns. The map identifies several ancestral locations, including Kanikyakstalikmiut, Ahmikdoligamiut, and Ingrimlut, providing a record of cultural sites within the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge. The terrain is characterized by low-lying tundra and volcanic features like Twin Mountain, with numerous small water bodies and the winding Kalliksneethnook R emptying into the strait. Just offshore, Nooravloaksmiut Island sits amidst foul ground and reefs, highlighting the navigational challenges of these Bering Sea waters during the mid-century era. This documentation was compiled from aerial photography taken by the Army Map Service before field checks were completed.
