1957 Map of Nome
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The coastal edge of the Seward Peninsula meets the Norton Sound in this 1957 survey, highlighting the gold-mining legacy and isolated settlements of the Second Judicial Division. Centered on the city of Nome, the map traces the intricate water management systems of the era, such as the Ditch networks required for hydraulic mining operations. Small camps and mining sites like Jensens Camp, Dredge Camp, and Bessie No 5 dot the landscape near the mouth of the Sinuk River, while the decommissioned grounds of Fort Davis sit just east of the main townsite.
