1950 Map of Solomon B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Safety Sound and its complex network of mud flats and tidal inlets dominate this 1950 coastal survey of the Seward Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the thin barrier spit that separates the sound from the open waters of Norton Sound, creating a protected maritime corridor. At the narrow entrance to this waterway lies Port Safety, where the Port Safety Roadhouse provided a critical stop for travelers along the coast. To the west, the terrain rises abruptly from the shore at Cape Nome and reaches inland toward Reindeer Hill. This area, mapped primarily from aerial photography, illustrates the remote coastal geography southeast of Nome during the mid-twentieth century, featuring triangulation stations like Vabm 503 used for precise coastal navigation and mapping.
