1954 Map of Nunivak Island

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Nunivak Island and the surrounding Bering Sea waters are documented here during a period of mid-century federal environmental management. The landscape is defined by the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses volcanic features like the Binalik Crater and the coastal Ooklik Dunes. Local settlement patterns are primarily coastal, centered on the Mekoryuk (Native Village) and numerous seasonal locations such as Kikmikshakumiut and Ahmikdoligamiut. To the east across the Etolin Strait, Nelson Island shows the community of Tanunak with its post office. The map details a complex network of subsistence sites and geographic markers, from Cape Mohican in the west to the Tachyhuimiut Lagoon in the south, reflecting the traditional land use and maritime orientation of the region's inhabitants.
