1950 Map of Nome C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Nome and its gold-bearing surrounds are documented here at a mid-century pivot point, showing the enduring legacy of the Seward Peninsula's mining boom. Traces of the massive hydraulic engineering required for placer mining dominate the landscape, with Elevated Ditches, a prominent Abandoned Ditch, and extensive Tailings Piles lining the watercourses. The infrastructure of the era is remarkably visible, from the coastal Landing Strip and Nome Radio Sta to the inland path of the Seward Peninsula RR and the Teller Road.
