USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Gold-mining history and the harsh coastal geography of the Seward Peninsula are captured here just after the mid-century mark. The map emphasizes the industrial footprint of the region, featuring the Bessie No. 5 Dredge Camp and the military legacy of Fort Davis situated east of the Nome River. Inland, the terrain is defined by dramatic peaks like Mt Osborn and Tigaraña Mountain, where glacial activity is evident at Glacial Lake and Salmon Lake.
