1952 Map of Nunivak Island B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Kuvlomiut and other seasonal settlements line the northern shores of Nunivak Island in the early 1950s, highlighting the enduring indigenous subsistence patterns of the Bering Sea coast. This coastal landscape is defined by the transition from the Etolin Strait to a shoreline of mud, gravel, and scattered boulders. Inland, the hydrology is dominated by the Koweejoonuk River and numerous tundra lakes, while coastal features like Nabakyalik Pt and Kangeekiksatharuk Cove provide natural landmarks for maritime navigation. The mapping, derived from aerial photography by the Army Map Service, captures specific seasonal habitation sites such as Daprakmiut and Kaneetaksmiut, which were often utilized for fishing and marine mammal hunting. These camps, along with the settlement at Kikmiktalikamiut, offer critical spatial data for understanding the traditional land use and geography of this region during the mid-twentieth century.
