USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Kotzebue serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated on the northern tip of the Baldwin Peninsula during the early 1950s. The map illustrates a critical hub for Arctic transportation and logistics, featuring the Ralph Wein Memorial Aerodrome, a CAA Station, and a Municipal Airfield near the shore of Kotzebue Sound. Significant infrastructure for the era is visible, including a Hosp, a Po, and a Radio Tower, alongside local landmarks like the Cem and a Reindeer Corral. Across the water, the settlement of Sheshalik rests on the Sheshalik Spit, connected to the interior by a solitary Trail. This survey reveals the settlement patterns of Northwest Alaska before major modern expansion, capturing the essential facilities required for this isolated coastal community.
