1950 Map of Solomon D-4

About this map

Council sits as the central settlement in this remote Seward Peninsula landscape, positioned at a strategic bend where the Niukluk River meets Melsing Creek. The area’s gold-rush history is etched into the terrain, most notably by the Abandoned RR that formerly connected the interior camps to the coast. This network is supplemented by a series of specialized airstrips, including the Council Mine Landing Strip and Melsing Landing Strip, which speak to the mid-century reliance on bush aviation for supply and transport in roadless regions.
