1952 Map of Nunivak Island B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Nunivak Island is documented here during the early 1950s, showing the seasonal settlement patterns of the coastal Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. The map identifies several traditional summer camps, including Abaramiut, Nariksmiut, and Ahdingmiut, positioned where fresh water meets the Bering Sea. These sites reflect the subsistence lifestyle of the era, situated near the mouths of the Ahling River and the Narikmiut River. The coastline is marked by distinct geological features such as Kikitalik Rock and Chingeeruk Pt at the entrance to Nash Harbor. This survey provides a precise look at the island's drainage systems and coastal topography before later administrative changes, preserving the locations of Kahnirukmiut and other culturally significant points along the Kahniruk River.
