1950 Map of Kotzebue A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Kotzebue Sound dominates the northern expanse of this 1950 coastal survey, where the waters meet a shoreline defined by prominent bluffs and drainage systems. The coastline is marked by distinct geographical points such as Clifford Pt and Rex Pt, where the Army Map Service utilized triangulation stations for precise elevation data. The interior terrain rises toward North Bluff, carved by a network of seasonal waterways including Clifford Creek, Rex Creek, and Mystic Creek. Further east, the landscape transitions at the Sullivan Bluffs, which overlook the brackish environment surrounding Sullivan Lake and its outflow, Sullivan Creek. This chart records the coastal topography of Northwest Alaska before the introduction of modern infrastructure, showing a wilderness area defined solely by its natural landmarks and survey benchmarks.
