1950 Map of Solomon D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Darby Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this 1950s interior Alaska survey, where the high-altitude terrain gives way to the complex braided drainage of the Niukluk River in the northwest. This transition between mountainous slopes and the low-lying basin reveals a wilderness structured by its waterways, including the winding Etchepuk River and its several tributaries. The presence of a lonely Cabin near the center of the sheet suggests the seasonal habitation patterns of the Seward Peninsula's interior, likely serving hunters or trappers traveling these remote drainage systems. From the heights of Mt Arathlatuluk down to the confluence of Arathlatuluk Creek and Burnt Creek, the map provides an exacting record of the region’s topography before significant modern development, emphasizing the dominance of the natural environment over human infrastructure.
