1950 Map of Solomon C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Solomon River corridor reveals a landscape defined by the legacies of the Seward Peninsula's mining era. This mid-century survey captures the industrial remains of the coastal settlements at Solomon and Dickson, where the Solomon Railroad Grade and Old Railroad Grade trace the transport routes that once served the gold fields. Further inland, the presence of Big Hurrah Mine and various camps like Quigleys Camp and Lees Camp indicate the spread of prospecting activity up the river's tributaries. Aviation's role in this remote territory is evident through the Solomon Landing Strip, Ruby Creek Airstrip, and other unnamed landing strips. The map also documents the rugged interior geography, dominated by Uncle Sam Mountain and the steep coastal bluff at Topkok Head, alongside seasonal routes such as the Winter Trail used to navigate the terrain when the ground was frozen.
