1950 Map of Solomon D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Casadepaga River and its complex network of tributaries define this landscape on the Seward Peninsula during the mid-century mining era. Evidence of gold-era infrastructure is prominent, including the Solomon Railroad and several sections of an Old Railroad Grade winding through the valley. These routes, alongside a Corduroy Road and the Military Trail, reveal how prospectors and freight teams navigated the interior. Isolated Cabins and the Ruby Roadhouse served as essential waypoints in a region where transport relied on a mix of a Tractor Trail and remote landing sites like the American Creek Landing Strip. High points such as Mount Dixon and Bermudez Bluff overlook a landscape carved by water, where every drainage from Myrtle Creek to Big Four Creek tells a story of early Alaskan exploration.
