About this map

Norton Bay Native Reservation dominates this coastal landscape on the Seward Peninsula, captured from 1950 photogrammetric data. The terrain rises from the Norton Bay shoreline into the foothills of the Darby Mountains, with notable coastal landmarks such as the Marble Cliffs and Mt Kwiniuk. Local movement and communication are centered around the Moses Point Fishing Village and the village of Elim, supported by critical infrastructure like the Moses Point Landing Strip and Radio Beacons near the shore.

A network of seasonal transportation is visible through the Winter Trail (Approx Align), which crosses drainage systems like Iron Creek and Miniatulik Creek. Further south, the settlement of Walla Walla sits at the mouth of Walla Walla Creek, illustrating a pattern of coastal habitation reliant on the region's river mouths and tidal flats. The presence of multiple Cabins along the shoreline highlights the seasonal and subsistence activities central to life in this part of Alaska during the mid-20th century.
