1950 Map of Solomon D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Niukluk River serves as the central artery for this Seward Peninsula landscape, anchoring the settlement of Council. This area, documented by the Army Map Service in 1950, shows a network of remote transportation routes including a Railroad Grade and several Tractor Trails that once supported the local mining economy. The presence of specialized infrastructure like the Council Mine Landing Strip, Melsing Landing Strip, and Fox Bar Landing Strip highlights the reliance on bush aviation for reaching isolated claims and camps. Significant elevations such as Mount Mordaunt and King Mountain overlook a complex drainage system where Melsing Creek, Warm Creek, and Dutch Creek meet the river. The map also records numerous cabins and a Gravel Pit, providing a detailed look at human activity in the Alaskan interior during the mid-20th century.
