1952 Map of Nunivak Island A-4

About this map

Mt Roberts stands as the prominent high point in this volcanic landscape on the interior of Nunivak Island, surrounded by a complex system of volcanic craters and hills. This mid-century topographical survey reveals a terrain defined by geological formations like Ikathiwik Crater and Binalik Crater, situated near Akkiaskanyuk Lake. The drainage of the Mekoryuk River carves through the northern half of the quadrangle, which is entirely contained within the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge. While the map lacks any marked roads or permanent settlements, it provides a detailed view of natural landmarks such as Kimijooksuk Butte and the Ingrilukat Hills that have long served as essential navigation points for the indigenous inhabitants and wildlife managers of this Bering Sea island.
