1955 Map of Norton Bay

About this map

The Koyuk Inlet and the expansive waters of Norton Bay anchor this mid-century coastal survey, illustrating a landscape defined by seasonal transit and indigenous territory. Significant land tracts are designated as the Native Reservation and Reindeer Reservation, the latter occupying the prominent peninsula ending at Cape Denbigh. Small outposts like Isaac's Roadhouse and Shaktoolik dot the coastline, while the interior is accessible only via a network of routes including the Kaltag Tenmile Trail and various named portages.
