1950 Map of Solomon

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Seward Peninsula reveals a landscape of maritime commerce and interior travel routes on this topographic-bathymetric study. The coastal settlement of Solomon sits near the western edge, linked to the interior by the Taylor Highway, while the community of Golovin occupies a strategic position between Golovnin Lagoon and the open waters of Golovnin Bay. Along the river valleys, the Niukluk and Fish rivers provide natural corridors for inland movement, dotted with legacy infrastructure like Ruby Roadhouse and the Golovin Mission. The map's bathymetric data extends into Norton Sound, illustrating the shallow waters of Safety Sound and the prominent headlands of Cape Nome and Cape Darby. This era of the peninsula shows a reliance on water-borne transport and established roadhouses for travel between isolated outposts like Moses Point and White Mountain.
