1950 Map of Solomon B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Cape Nome anchors this coastal landscape where the waters of Norton Sound meet the protected expanse of Safety Sound. The area reflects the maritime and travel infrastructure of the mid-century Seward Peninsula, centered on the narrow spit that separates the lagoon from the open sea. A ferry crossing connects the coastline near the Port Safety Roadhouse, a critical stop for travelers moving between Nome and points east. This topographic record, based on 1950 aerial photography, captures the natural mudflats and navigation aids, including a light guarding the entrance to Port Safety. The prominence of Reindeer Hill provides a rare point of elevation along an otherwise low-lying, tide-influenced shoreline defined by shifting sands and maritime transit.
