1950 Map of Solomon D-6

About this map

The Kigluaik Mountains dominate the northern horizon of this mid-century survey, their steep drainages feeding a complex network of waterways that define the Seward Peninsula interior. Small Cabins scattered along the banks of the Pilgrim River and near Salmon Lake suggest a landscape utilized for seasonal subsistence and transit rather than permanent township development. This wilderness character is underscored by the presence of a lone Tractor Trail cutting through the valleys, a primary artery for movement in an era before modern road networks reached these remote gold-country watersheds.
