1950 Map of Bendeleben

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Seward Peninsula landscape is defined by its volatile volcanic history and its early 20th-century mining economy. Volcanic cones like Dryas Cone and Camille Cone punctuate the central plateau, while the Bendeleben Mountains and Kigluaik Mountains rise sharply in the south. The region's industrial footprint is visible through the Seward Peninsula RR and isolated outposts such as Taylor and Dahl. Geologic activity is further evidenced by the Serpentine Hot Springs and Pilgrim Springs, which provided rare thermal landmarks for early travelers. The northeastern corner of the map reveals the Chicago Creek Coal Mines, a vital energy source for the region's remote operations. This survey also records numerous landing areas and tractor trails that were essential for movement before modern infrastructure, connecting camps like Camp 19 and Camp Haven across the vast drainage basins of the Kugruk River and Fish River.
