About this map

Gambell and Savoonga anchor the human presence on this remote Bering Sea island during the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is defined by seasonal camps and subsistence sites, including the Kukuliak (Old Village Site) and specialized locations like the Reindeer Camp and Corral and the Siknik Trapping Camp. Movement across the interior is meticulously documented through a network of terrestrial paths, specifically labeled as the Spring Trail, Regular Trail, and Winter Trail, reflecting the necessity of different routes as the seasons shift. Notable hydrological features such as Troutman Lake and Lake Cynthia are recorded alongside prominent coastal landmarks like Cape Sevuokuk and Puguviliak Cape. This survey provides a specialized look at the island's geography before significant modern infrastructure, focusing on indigenous land use and the maritime environment.
