1952 Map of Nunivak Island B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Nunivak Island is depicted during the early 1950s, showcasing a landscape of seasonal residency and subsistence patterns along the edge of the Etolin Strait. Several indigenous seasonal locations, such as Kuvlomiut, Daprakmiut, and Kaneetaksmiut, are situated along the north-central coast, indicating the maritime-focused lifestyle of the era. The terrain is a complex network of waterways, including the Kounejonugak River and Vakeekalik Creek, which drain into the Bering Sea through a series of points and coves like Kookjilik Pt and Kangeekikcatharuk Cove. Part of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, this region's geography is defined by its isolation and the naming of specific landmarks like Binowarat and Triangle Island. The map reflects a time when traditional land use remained dominant before modern infrastructure reached this part of Alaska.
