1950 Map of Kotzebue C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Shishmaref Inlet defines the coastal landscape of this Seward Peninsula region, where the tidewaters meet a low-lying expanse of wetlands and small ponds. Mapped from aerial photography taken in 1949 and 1950, the sheet documents the interface of the Chukchi Sea and the Arctic Ocean along a shifting shoreline. The isolation of the northern coast is punctuated only by small coastal settlements like Kividlo and Singoak, which are positioned near the mouth of the inlet. Inland, the Kalik River meanders through a labyrinth of unnamed lakes and marshy tundra, illustrating the drainage patterns of this subarctic environment before any modern infrastructure or trails were established in the area.
