About this map

The York Mountains dominate this 1950 coastal survey of the Seward Peninsula, where the Continental Divide winds through a landscape of high peaks and mineral-rich drainages. This area is defined by its industrial potential and isolation, with numerous Quarries and a Prospect noted near the mouth of the Lost River. Resource extraction is further evidenced by a Landing Strip and small Cabin structures situated near the coastline of the Bering Sea.

Transportation in this northern reaches relies on the Winter Trail, which provides a land route across the varied terrain of Cape York. The drainage system is complex, featuring the Kanauguk River, Rapid River, and several family-named tributaries like Cassiterite Creek, which descends from Cassiterite Peak. The entire coastal stretch is managed within the Amnwr BDY, indicating early conservation boundaries.
