1950 Map of Solomon

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Solomon and the neighboring coastal reaches of the Seward Peninsula are characterized here by a network of mining-era camps and roadhouses situated between the Kigluaik Mountains and the icy waters of Norton Sound. This survey captures the lingering geography of the gold rush, where the Solomon River and Casadepaga River served as vital corridors for early territorial development. Settlements like Council and White Mountain anchor the interior river systems, while remote stopovers such as Ruby Roadhouse and Portage Roadhouse illustrate the necessity of established shelters along the region's arduous overland routes. The presence of specialized sites like Quigleys Camp and Lee Camp underscores the localized industry that shaped the landscape, while the coastal Golovnin Lagoon and Safety Sound provided the essential maritime access that sustained these distant communities.
