1950 Map of Nome C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Sinuk (Sinrock) River flows through this coastal landscape on the Seward Peninsula, terminating near the lone Sinuk Roadhouse along the shore of Norton Sound. This mid-century survey illustrates a remote transport network relying on the Winter Trail (Approximate Alignment), which skirts the coastline past Cape Rodney and across the lowland marshes. The map reveals a transition from the drainage basins of Stuart Creek and Fairview Creek in the northern highlands to the tidal flats and lagoons of the Bering Sea. Offshore, an inset details the isolated topography of Sledge Island, a distinctive landmark in the sound. The land is defined by numerous drainage systems, including Boulder Creek and Quartz Creek, reflecting a wilderness defined by its water routes and seasonal paths rather than established roads.
