1950 Map of Kotzebue A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Kotzebue Sound dominates the northern reaches of this coastal survey, where the waters of Willow Bay and Spafarief Bay carve into the shoreline of northwestern Alaska. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with Willow Creek, Hunter Creek, and Alder Creek flowing north toward the sound. Human presence in this environment is sparse, indicated only by a few isolated structures like a Cabin near the coast and documented Ruins further inland. Significant coastal landmarks such as Ninemile Pt and Motherwood Pt provide orientation along the bay margins. This 1950 data shows the area before modern infrastructure, preserving the original configuration of topographic benchmarks like VABM Mother 100 and VABM Willow 75.
