1950 Map of Shishmaref A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Sarichef Island sits at the northern edge of this coastal survey, serving as a barrier between the Chukchi Sea and the expansive Arctic Lagoon. The map, produced from aerial photographs taken in 1949 and 1950, documents a remote landscape where transportation relied heavily on seasonal routes like the Winter Trail (Approximate). This trail skirts the shoreline of the lagoon and Shishmaref Inlet, providing a vital link across the frozen tundra and coastal ice during the winter months.
