1950 Map of Bendeleben A-3

About this map

The Bendeleben Mountains dominate the northern horizon of this 1950s survey, their southern slopes descending into the expansive, water-soaked expanse of McCarthy Marsh. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where the Niukluk River, Fish River, and Pargon River converge and meander through the lowlands. The presence of both a Wagon Road and a Winter Trail highlights the seasonal nature of travel in the Seward Peninsula interior during the mid-century.
