1958 Map of Nunivak Island

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Mekoryuk serves as a primary settlement on the northern coast of Nunivak Island, situated near the mouth of the Mekoryuk River. This mid-century survey illustrates a remote landscape defined by indigenous coastal settlements and seasonal subsistence sites such as Kigoumiut, Mikisagimiut, and the Cape Algonquin Cabins. The island's interior is dominated by volcanic features like Roberts Mtn and the Twin Mountains, all contained within the Nunivak National Wildlife Refuge. Across the Etolin Strait, the map details the western edge of Nelson Island, including Tanunak and its associated Tanunak Bay. The presence of multiple landing areas at Nash Harbor and Tanunak highlights the critical role of maritime and bush-plane access for these isolated Bering Sea communities during the 1940s and 50s.
