1950 Map of Teller A-3

About this map

Port Clarence and Grantley Harbor define the northern maritime boundary of this interior Seward Peninsula landscape, where the tides meet a network of drainages heavily influenced by early gold exploration. The most prominent human activity is reflected at Sullivan Camp, situated near the convergence of Madame Cr and Bull Pup Cr. The map's hydrography is defined by evocative mining-era names like Gold Standard Cr, Gold Run, and Yellowstone Creek, which carved through the terrain long before modern permanent settlements. A series of overland routes, including the Winter Trail, provided essential seasonal access between the coast at Cape Riley and the inland mining claims. The reliance on these trails and the Tuksuk Channel illustrates the remote logistics of the Seward Peninsula during the mid-20th century.
