1954 Map of Nunivak Island B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Nelson Island dominates the eastern and northern reaches of this coastal Alaskan study, separated from the open sea by the expansive waters of the Etolin Strait. Along the northern shoreline of the island sits the settlement of Umkumiut, positioned near the waters of Kangirlvar Bay. The landscape is defined by its maritime boundaries, featuring prominent coastal landmarks such as Atrnak Point and the southwestern extension of Chinigyak Cape. Mapped using aerial photography from the mid-1950s, the document provides a detailed look at the island's hydrography and shoreline before later modern developments, capturing the isolated character of this region of Alaska's western coast. The intricate network of tidal channels and small water bodies on the island's interior suggests a complex wetland environment essential to the local geography.
