1954 Map of Nunivak Island D-1

About this map

Naskonat Peninsula anchors this coastal survey, where the terrestrial world meets the expansive waters of Hazen Bay. The landscape is defined by its conservation status, notably within the Clarence Rhode National Wildlife Range Area No 1 and the Hazen Bay Migratory Waterfowl Refuge. This coastal region of Alaska showcases a delicate interplay of land and water, with tidal flats labeled as sand and mud stretching across the coastline. Farther south, the Ninglick River flows toward the bay, situated between Kigigak Island and the larger landmass of Nelson Island. Small landmarks like Nunivachak Island provide reference points in the bay, while the absence of roads or established trails highlights the wilderness character of the region during the mid-1950s mapping period.
