1950 Map of Kotzebue A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Goodhope Bay and the southeastern reaches of Kotzebue Sound dominate this coastal landscape at the mid-century. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and tundra, where the Goodhope River and Inmachuk River meander toward the coast through a complex of small waterways including Pot Creek and Eagle Creek. Surveyed just after the war using aerial photography, the map highlights the geological benchmarks of the era such as VABM Goodhope and VABM Fawn. This topographical study reveals the natural hydrology of the Seward Peninsula's northern coast before significant modern development, capturing the original drainage patterns of Clifford Creek and Francis Creek as they descend from the southern uplands toward the bay.
