1950 Map of Solomon C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Solomon and Dickson anchor this coastal survey where the Solomon Railroad Grade follows the river inland through a landscape of mining camps and prospecting history. The terrain is dominated by Uncle Sam Mountain and the Big Hurrah Mine, which sits along the creek of the same name. Traces of previous infrastructure are visible throughout, including the Old Railroad Grade and the Winter Trail cutting across the tundra. Remote settlements like Quigleys Camp and Lees Camp emphasize the area's isolation and its reliance on the river valleys for movement. Along the Norton Sound coast, the Solomon Landing Strip and a light near the tidal flats mark essential navigation points for a region shaped by the boom and bust of Alaskan resource extraction.
