1950 Map of Bendeleben C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Imuruk Lake dominates this mid-century topographic study of the Seward Peninsula, its expansive waters fed by the Pinnell River and Cottonwood Creek. The landscape is defined by its volcanic history, evidenced by a series of prominent formations like Kettle Dome, Cassiope Cone, and Rhododendron Cone, which rise above significant fields of Lava. Of particular interest to industrial historians is the Fairhaven Ditch, a remarkable water conveyance system visible cutting across the terrain toward the Kugruk River. This engineering feat supported the region's hydraulic mining operations. Notable landmarks such as Skeleton Butte and the curiously named Asses Ears provide distinct navigation points across the north, while Salix Bay and Granite Bay indent the eastern shoreline of the lake.
