1950 Map of Nome B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Nome and its immediate coastal surrounds appear here just five years after the close of World War II, showing a landscape defined by both natural gold-rush geography and modern aviation infrastructure. The shoreline of Norton Sound is marked by the presence of Thaw Field and the Towers CAA Radio Range, reflecting the town's importance as a strategic subarctic transportation hub during the mid-century. While the city center is visible at the western edge, the map extends eastward along the coast to Cape Nome.
