USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Seward Peninsula coastline meets the Bering Sea in this mid-century portrait of the Alaskan interior and coast. The city of Nome serves as the focal point, situated at the mouth of the Snake River where the land gives way to Norton Sound. This survey captures the region's industrial and logistical footprint, featuring a Dredge Camp and the mining-related Bessie No 5 label, along with the Winter Trail cutting through the landscape.
