1950 Map of Kotzebue A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The northern shoreline of the Seward Peninsula meets the expansive waters of Kotzebue Sound in this 1950 aerial-derived survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from coastal lowlands to the rising elevations above Willow Bay, where multiple watercourses including Willow Creek and Hunter Creek drain toward the sound. A solitary Cabin is marked along the shoreline between Alder Creek and Hunter Creek, providing a rare indicator of human presence and shelter for those traversing this coastal stretch. Significant maritime landmarks such as Ninemile Pt and Motherwood Pt provide navigational orientation along the irregular coast. The eastern edge of the survey opens into Spafarief Bay, showing a landscape untouched by roads or established towns, characterized instead by its natural drainage patterns like Kirk Creek and the triangulation station Mother VABM.
