1950 Map of Norton Bay B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Shaktoolik River meanders across this mid-century landscape, carving through a region defined by seasonal activity and water-based transport. While the map is sparse of permanent towns, it meticulously notes the ephemeral sites of human presence, including a Cabin, Fishing Camp, and Hunting Camp. These small markers represent the traditional land-use patterns of the Norton Bay area, where seasonal subsistence relied on the network of waterways like the Taguomenik River and Anaktuvuk Creek. Overland travel is represented by a solitary Winter Trail, reflecting the logistical realities of the Alaskan interior before the expansion of modern infrastructure. The detailed hydrography, including named features such as Afternoon Creek and Diamond Creek, illustrates a complex drainage system crucial for those navigating the coastal plains and rising foothills.
