1950 Map of Norton Bay A-3

About this map

North River dominates this mid-century topographical survey, snaking through the center of a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and unnamed drainage systems. The survey, based on 1950 aerial photography, reveals a wilderness largely devoid of permanent development, save for a single Cabin located in the northwestern reaches near a minor tributary. This lone structure serves as a primary indicator of human activity in an area otherwise characterized by its isolation. Towards the southern boundary, the map identifies North River VABM 1871, a vertical angle bench mark providing a precise elevation point for the Army Map Service’s cartography. The inclusion of Egavik near the western edge hints at the connectivity between the river systems and the coastal influences of the region, despite the absence of established roads or trails on this specific sheet.
