1951 Map of Solomon

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Gold mining and coastal trade define this mid-century landscape of the Seward Peninsula, where the Seward Peninsula Railroad once pushed inland toward the mining district near Council. The terrain is marked by the industrial footprints of the Big Hurrah Mine and the settlement at Solomon, reflecting the region's transition from the frantic boom years to more established operations. Along the southern coast, Safety Sound and Golovnin Bay provide a window into the maritime logistics of the era, serving remote outposts like White Mountain and the Mission at Golovin. The presence of the Norton Bay Native Reservation in the east near Elim highlights the complex heritage of the region, where traditional indigenous territories and federal designations met the infrastructure of the mining and judicial divisions. This 1951 compilation offers a clear view of the trails, airstrips, and river networks that remained vital for travel across the Darby Mountains.
