1950 Map of Nome C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Sinuk River and Cripple River dominate this coastal landscape northwest of Nome, where gold prospecting left a visible mark on the Seward Peninsula. Mining activity is clearly evidenced by the Sunset Mine Tailings near the Snake River, while numerous family and mineral-themed landmarks like Washington Creek, Nugget Gulch, and Elizabeth Cr line the interior valleys. The terrain transitions from the shoreline of Norton Sound to a network of steep gulches and creek beds, which served as the primary routes for early mineral exploration.
