1950 Map of Teller A-1

About this map

Marys Igloo and the adjacent settlement of New Igloo stand as central points of activity on the banks of the winding Kuzitrin River in this mid-century survey of the Seward Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the dramatic transition from the tidal flats and braided waterways of the Imuruk Basin to the steep, rising peaks of the Kigluaik Mountains to the south. Further north, Davidsons Landing provides a point of arrival near the confluence of the Marys River and Davidson Slough. Transportation in this subarctic environment relies on seasonal routes, including a documented Tractor Trail and a Winter Trail that cross the lowlands, connecting the remote settlements and an Air Strip to the broader landscape of Marys Mountain and the interior.
