1950 Map of Nome D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Shea Roadhouse stands as a vital landmark along the coastline of the Bering Sea, marking a waypoint on the Winter Trail that traverses the Seward Peninsula. This 1950s survey illustrates a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, where the Tisuk River and Feather River flow westward toward the coast. The terrain is dotted with seasonal or subsistence sites like Singigyak near Cape Woolley, reflecting the sparse but essential human presence in this subarctic environment. Many of the watercourses, such as Eldorado Creek, Fairview Creek, and Livingston Creek, carry names that suggest the region's history of mineral exploration and prospecting. The presence of numerous trails and approximate alignments highlights the importance of overland travel routes through the coastal lowlands and inland ridges before the development of modern road infrastructure.
