1950 Map of Teller B-3

About this map

Brevig Mission and Teller anchor the coast of the Seward Peninsula in this mid-century survey, facing one another across the waters of Port Clarence. This area, deeply tied to the subsistence and reindeer herding traditions of the region, includes the notable Reindeer Camp (Site) and a seasonal Fish Camp. The landscape transitions from the coastal lowlands of Grantley Harbor into the interior peaks of Red Mtn and Mukacharni Mountain, where a network of Winter Trails and Tractor Trails provides the primary overland movement. The numerous watercourses, including the Agiapuk River and Moonlight Creek, underscore the importance of the river drainage systems for navigation and resource access in a roadless environment. The presence of a Cem near the mission and the corporate boundaries of the settlements reflect the established community life during this era.
