1950 Map of Nome D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Kigluaiak Mountains dominate this northern landscape, rising to peaks such as Mount Osborn and Tigaraha Mountain. The high-altitude terrain is defined by glacial features and alpine waters, most notably the deep basin of Salmon Lake and the smaller Crater Lake to the north. Drainage systems like the Nome River and Grand Central River carve through the mountain passes, reflecting the hydrological patterns of the Seward Peninsula before significant modern infrastructure.
