1950 Map of Nome D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Kigluaiak Mountains dominate this 1950s interior landscape of the Seward Peninsula, revealing a complex drainage system defined by the Sinuk River and Stewart River. At the heart of the mountains, Glacial Lake sits as a significant water body, fed by the Grand Central River and Glacier Creek. The presence of a lone Cabin along the riverbank suggests the sparse human footprint characteristic of this subarctic wilderness during the mid-twentieth century. Transportation across this remote terrain is limited to the Nome Teller Highway, which skirts the southwestern edge of the quadrangle near Livingston Creek. The map documents a landscape of braided river valleys and high-elevation basins, including the headwaters of the Feather River and Cobblestone River, providing a detailed record of the region's topography before more modern developments reached the Alaskan interior.
