1964 Map of Kotzebue
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Kotzebue serves as the focal point of this Arctic coastal survey, situated at the tip of the Baldwin Peninsula where the Noatak River Delta meets Hotham Inlet. In the mid-1960s, this region was defined by its remote coastal outposts and maritime geography, with the Arctic Circle bisecting the landscape just south of Cape Espenberg. The map reveals a reliance on seasonal transport and aviation, documenting a Winter Trail and several remote landing sites including Fink Airstrip and the Kotzebue Landing Area. Along the northern edge of the Seward Peninsula, small settlements like Deering, Kividlo, and Singreak are visible against a backdrop of complex water systems like Goodhope Bay and the meandering Nugnugaluktuk River. Inland, the isolated Devil Mountain and numerous lakes such as White Fish Lake illustrate the water-dominated tundra of the Northwest Arctic.
