1950 Map of Teller B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The York Mountains dominate this rugged coastal stretch where the Continental Divide meets the Bering Sea. Industrial activity is centered on the Lost River Mine, supported by a Landing Strip and a cluster of Open cut mines and Quarries near Cassiterite Creek. The presence of these operations at the foot of Cassiterite Peak illustrates the mid-century mineral extraction efforts in this remote region. Transportation across the tundra is marked by a Winter Trail skirting the coast near Cape York, providing a tenuous link between drainage basins like the Kanauguk River and King River. Scattered features such as a Cabin and various Prospect sites indicate the sparse but persistent human footprint on a landscape otherwise defined by cold-water rivers like Philadelphia Cr and Oonateschuk Cr.
