1950 Map of Nome D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Bering Sea dominates this coastal survey, where the shoreline of the Seward Peninsula meets the cold northern waters at Cape Douglas. Compiled from aerial photography taken in the late 1940s, the map reveals a remote landscape defined by drainage systems and seasonal passage rather than permanent settlements. A prominent Winter Trail cuts across the tundra, providing a vital overland route between coastal points when the ground is frozen. Several small waterways, including Sourdough Creek, Spruce Creek, and Peluk Creek, meander toward the coast through low-lying terrain, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of the region before significant modern development altered the land.
