1950 Map of Solomon B-2

About this map

Cape Darby anchors the southern tip of the Seward Peninsula on this mid-century coastal chart, separating the waters of Golovin Bay from Norton Bay. The landscape is dominated by the Kwiktalik Mountains, which rise sharply from the coastline of Norton Sound. Historically, this area is characterized by the extensive Norton Bay Native Reservation, which covers the eastern slopes of the range. Along the western shore, the Golovin Mission serves as a primary point of settlement, while further north, the presence of the Portage Roadhouse near Portage Creek indicates the essential infrastructure for travelers navigating the subarctic coast. A Winter Trail follows the northern boundary, suggesting the seasonal transportation routes vital to this region before modern road development. Notable landmarks for mariners include Carolyn Island and the distinctive Priest Rock situated at the very point of the cape.
