1950 Map of Nome D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Kigluaiak Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this 1950s study, where high-elevation basins feed a complex network of waterways on the Seward Peninsula. A central landmark is Glacial Lake, which serves as a significant drainage point for Glacier Creek as it flows southward from the peaks. The landscape is characterized by its sharp relief and the convergence of several major water systems, including the Sinuk River (Sinrock) and the Stewart River. Smaller tributaries like Ruby Gulch and Trinity Creek show the drainage patterns that defined the geography of this area long before modern development. Mapped by the Army Map Service using photogrammetric methods from 1950 aerial photography, the sheet records the unmodified natural state of these drainage basins, providing a baseline for environmental and geological study of the region's interior.
