1952 Map of Nunivak Island A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Nunivak Island is defined here by its stark volcanic and arctic hydrology, captured in detail just after the mid-century. This portion of the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge showcases a landscape of profound geological interest, anchored by the prominent Nanwaksjiak Crater and its adjacent Lava Bed in the southwest. The presence of these volcanic features amidst a complex network of tundra ponds and the winding Kaliksneethnoo River illustrates the unique intersection of igneous activity and the water-saturated soils of the Yukon Delta region. While the interior remains devoid of permanent settlements or roads, the map serves as a precise record of the island's natural drainage patterns and the established Base Line used for regional surveying. For the researcher, it provides a window into the untouched state of the Bering Sea's second-largest island before modern environmental shifts.
