1952 Map of Nunivak Island B-5

About this map

Abaramiut and other seasonal indigenous settlements punctuate the northern coastline of Nunivak Island in this early 1950s survey. These subsistence sites, including Nariksmiut, Kahnirukmiut, and Ahdingmiut, are situated at the mouths of the island's major drainage systems such as the Kahniruk River and Ahding River. The map meticulously records the treacherous maritime geography of the Bering Sea coast, detailing hazards like Kikiktalik Rock and the complex shoreline around Nash Harbor.
