1950 Map of Bendeleben B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Placer Gold Mining Area sites dominate the drainage basins of Dahl Creek and Coffee Cr on this 1950s study of the Seward Peninsula. The landscape is a network of hydraulic activity and aviation, centered on the small settlements of Dahl and Kougarok. Remote outposts like the Roadhouse provided essential refuge along the Tractor Trail system, which served as the primary overland artery before modern infrastructure. The serpentine Kougarok River and Kuzitrin River provide the natural framework for the region's topography, winding past landmarks like Coffee Dome and Bunker Hill. Aviation infrastructure, critical for these isolated mining districts, is represented by the Kougarok Landing Strip and Dahl Landing Strip. The presence of labels like Brakes Bottom and Checkers reflects the local vernacular of the miners and trappers who inhabited this territory during the mid-century gold era.
