1950 Map of Norton Bay C-5

About this map

Reindeer Reservation land and the waters of Norton Bay dominate this mid-century coastal survey. The map depicts a landscape defined by seasonal movement and the heritage of reindeer herding, with a prominent Winter Trail (Approximate) cutting across the ice and shoreline. The terrain is marked by coastal features like Pt Dexter and the elevated Reindeer Hills, providing a clear look at the topography before modern developments. Along the southeastern shoreline, Reindeer Cove opens up near a small Cabin and the triangulation point at Pussy VABM. These details reflect a period when traditional routes and subsistence land use were primary, as seen in the extensive Tidal Flat areas near Little Mountain and Island Pt.
