1950 Map of Shishmaref A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Sarichef Island and the narrow barrier beaches of the Seward Peninsula shoreline define this 1950 coastal landscape. Separating the Arctic Ocean and Chukchi Sea from the mainland, these landforms shelter the expansive Arctic Lagoon and Shishmaref Inlet. The map reveals a remote environment where movement was dictated by the seasons, evidenced by the presence of a Winter Trail stretching across the frozen waters and low-lying tundra.
