About this map

I M U R U K L A K E dominates this landscape in the Seward Peninsula, a massive freshwater body surrounded by a complex volcanic field. The southern shore is defined by distinct cinder cones including Cassiope Cone, Rhododendron Cone, and Camille Cone, with extensive Lava flows stretching across the lower terrain. This 1950s aerial survey reveals the remote hydrologic network where the Continental Divide separates the drainage of the Goodhope River from the interior basin.

Water management for mining interests is evident in the presence of the Fairhaven Ditch and its Sluice Gate in the northeastern corner, indicating large-scale hydraulic engineering in this subarctic environment. The lake itself features several inlets like Salix Bay and Granite Bay, while the northern hills are marked by curiosities like the twin peaks of Asses Ears and the high point of Virginia Butte.
