1951 Map of Nunivak Island

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the entirety of the island shown in this mid-century reconnaissance study, documenting a landscape defined by isolated coastal settlements and seasonal subsistence sites. The northern coast serves as the primary hub of activity, anchored by the community of Mekoryuk and the nearby Koot on Etolin Bay. The map records numerous native settlements and temporary habitations such as Mikissagimiut, Kigoumiut, and Tachikuga, reflecting the seasonal movement patterns of the Nuniwarmiut people between the interior and the Bering Sea coast.
