1952 Map of Nunivak Island B-2

About this map

Nunivak Island and the waters of the Etolin Strait dominate this mid-century coastal survey. Portraying the eastern edge of the island within the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge, the map reveals a coastline defined by shallow inlets and significant mud and boulder foreshore areas, as seen at Ikathleewik Bay. The terrain here is largely unsurveyed in the interior, reflecting the isolation of this corner of the Bering Sea during the early 1950s.
