1950 Map of Nome C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Sinuk Roadhouse stands as a focal point of human settlement on this Seward Peninsula coastline, positioned where the Sinuk River meets the Bering Sea. Photographed in 1950, this landscape reveals a transition from the coastal plains and marshy lowlands near Cape Rodney to the rising interior terrain drained by Independence Creek and Stuart Creek. The presence of the Winter Trail running parallel to the shore illustrates the historical importance of seasonal travel routes in this part of Alaska before modern road infrastructure. To the south, an inset details the isolated topography of Sledge Island within Norton Sound, providing a clear record of the maritime and terrestrial geography of the Nome region at mid-century.
