1950 Map of Teller B-3

About this map

Teller and Brevig Mission anchor the coastal landscape of this 1950 survey, positioned where the waters of Port Clarence meet Grantley Harbor. The map reveals a remote Seward Peninsula environment defined by seasonal movement and subsistence, marked by labels for Fish Camp and the Reindeer Camp (Site). A network of Winter Trails and standard Trails crisscross the tundra, connecting numerous Cabins scattered along waterways like Agiapuk River and Moonlight Creek. High points such as Red Mtn and Mukacharni Mountain rise above the complex drainage systems of the interior. The presence of a Ditch near Shelman Creek suggests historic water management for mining activities, while the Landing Strip at the mission and Light near Teller indicate the area's essential roles in regional transit and maritime navigation during the mid-20th century.
