1950 Map of Nome

About this map

Nome sits at the heart of this mid-century coastal landscape, serving as the primary hub for the southern Seward Peninsula where the Snake River meets the Bering Sea. The map captures the infrastructure of the post-gold rush era, featuring active sites like Bessie No 8 Dredge Camp and Jensens Camp alongside the established Nome Airport. This survey reveals a complex network of seasonal travel, most notably the Winter Trail that weaves through the foothills of the Kigluaik Mountains.
