1948 Map of St Lawrence

About this map

St. Lawrence Island emerges from the Bering Sea in this detailed survey, documenting a landscape defined by seasonal camps and subsistence living. Settlements like Gambell at the Northwest Cape and Savoonga on the northern coast serve as primary hubs, while the interior is dotted with specific-purpose sites including Siknik Trapping Camp and Reindeer Camp. The map illustrates a complex relationship with the shoreline, where vast water bodies such as Koozata Lagoon and Sekinak Lagoon dominate the southern coast.
