1950 Map of Shishmaref B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Sarichef Island sits at the edge of the Arctic Ocean, anchoring this coastal 1950 survey of the Seward Peninsula shoreline. The village of Shishmaref is positioned on the island's narrow reach, accompanied by essential maritime and aviation infrastructure including a Light and a Landing Strip. The map illustrates the tenuous nature of settlement along the Chukchi Sea, where a terrestrial Winter Trail provides a overland connection near the shores of Shishmaref Inlet.
