1950 Map of Teller B-2

About this map

The Agiapuk River winds through a vast network of wetlands and tundra in this 1950s study of the Seward Peninsula. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the American River joins the main channel amidst a sprawling collection of unnamed lakes and marshy flats. The human presence is captured through primitive transportation routes rather than permanent settlements, reflecting the seasonal and industrial movements of the era. A prominent Tractor Trail cuts across the western highlands, while a Winter Trail bypasses the frozen lowlands in the south, likely providing essential passage when the ground was solid enough for heavy equipment. Named tributaries such as Oilfield Creek and Eureka Creek hint at the prospecting and resource interests that drove exploration in this part of the Alaska Territory shortly after the war.
