1950 Map of Solomon D-1

About this map

The Darby Mountains dominate the western landscape of this mid-century topographic survey, where steep ridgelines descend into the river valleys of the Seward Peninsula. A significant portion of the southeastern territory is occupied by the Norton Bay Native Reservation, reflecting the historical land designations of the era. The drainage systems of the Tubutulik River and the Kwiniuk River create intricate winding patterns across the lowlands, fed by tributaries like Vulcan Creek and Chukajak Creek. A notable logistical feature is the Winter Trail, which cuts across the tundra and foothills, providing a vital seasonal transportation route through this unpopulated wilderness. This 1950 data, compiled from aerial photography, shows the region before major modern infrastructure, focusing on the natural watercourses and the stark topography of the Darby range.
