1950 Map of Bendeleben C-1

About this map

The Kugruk River meanders along the western edge of this territory, where a solitary Cabin stands near its banks, representing the sparse human footprint in this Seward Peninsula landscape. Surveyed in 1950, the map documents a network of hydraulic engineering through numerous Ditch labels, particularly flanking Candle Creek and Canoe Creek. These features, alongside Gold Run and Bonanza Creek, indicate the area's legacy of placer mining and the infrastructure required to move water across the tundra. Transportation and communication are defined by the Winter Trail and a Tel Line that cut through the eastern valleys. Dominating the central and southern terrain are the prominent peaks of Monument Mountain and Kiwalik Mountain, which anchor a complex system of drainages including Glacier Creek and Dominion Creek.
