1950 Map of Bendeleben A-3

About this map

The Bendeleben Mountains rise sharply in the north, providing a stark contrast to the sprawling drainage systems of the McCarthy Marsh below. This mid-century survey reveals an intricate network of waterways, where the Boston Creek and Fish River meander through a landscape defined by seasonal movement and alluvial deposits. The names given to these tributaries, such as Bullion Creek and Ready Bullion Cr, reflect the mining history of the Seward Peninsula, even in areas where established settlements are absent.
