1950 Map of Kotzebue C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Chukchi Sea and Arctic Ocean dominate this coastal survey, where the frozen waters meet the low-lying northern edge of Alaska. Mapped by the Army Map Service using aerial photography from 1949 and 1950, the map documents a remote stretch of shoreline defined by complex wetlands and drainage systems. Small coastal settlements such as Kividlo and Singeak are positioned along the edge of the sea, serving as notable human markers in a landscape otherwise shaped by natural hydrology. The Kalik River winds through the eastern portion of the terrain, cutting through the marshy lowlands before reaching the coast. This representation captures a specific era of Arctic mapping where photogrammetric methods began to reveal the intricate patterns of the tundra and its scattered coastal outposts.
