1950 Map of Bendeleben

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Seward Peninsula landscape captured in this mid-century survey reveals a remote mining and transportation network defined by the Seward Peninsula Railroad and the historic Telephone Trail. Anchored by the towering Mount Bendeleben and the Bendeleben Mountains, the region was a hub for early mineral extraction, evidenced by the Chicago Creek Coal Mines and the Arizona Mine. The presence of Serpentine Hot Springs and scattered settlements like Taylor and Dahl suggests a pattern of isolated outposts connected by river corridors and rudimentary trails. This survey provides a rare look at the industrial archaeology of the Seward Peninsula before modern infrastructure, documenting remote camps such as Camp 19 and Camp Haven along the winding Tubutulik River and Kuzitrin River.
