1950 Map of Norton Bay D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Koyuk sits at the northern terminus of the Koyuk Inlet, serving as a vital focal point where the Koyuk River meets the expansive Norton Bay. This 1950 coastal survey, based on photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs, illustrates a landscape defined by intricate tidal flats and winding river systems. The map captures the remote infrastructure of the era, including a Landing Strip and an additional approximate location for a second strip near the settlement, reflecting the area's reliance on air and water transport. To the west, several named waterways such as the Mukluktulik River, Miniatulik River, and Kuiuktulik River drain from the interior highlands toward the coast. The absence of roads and the dominance of marshy terrain along Kenwood Creek highlight the seasonal and environmental challenges faced by those inhabiting this section of the Seward Peninsula.
