1950 Map of Teller B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Port Clarence and the expansive Breving Lagoon dominate this coastal survey of the Seward Peninsula, captured shortly after the mid-century. The landscape is defined by the shifting barrier spits and the Bering Sea coastline, where the Don River and California River drain from the inland highlands near Black Mtn. A significant historical landmark is the Point Spencer Airfield (Abd) at the tip of the spit, which is marked as abandoned by the time of this publication. Navigation across this subarctic terrain relied on seasonal routes, evidenced by the Winter Trail that tracks along the coast and across the lagoon. These trails provided critical winter access between coastal points like Point Jackson and Point Spencer when the waterways were frozen, illustrating the area's remote transportation network before modern infrastructure.
