1950 Map of Teller C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Nuluk River carves through this remote stretch of the Seward Peninsula, forming a central drainage for numerous tributaries like Deep Creek and Maria Cr. Surveyed by the Army Map Service, this terrain illustrates the complex seasonal mobility required in the Alaskan interior during the mid-20th century. The presence of a Winter Trail along the Arctic Creek drainage highlights the established routes used when frozen ground and snowpack transformed the impassable landscape into a navigable corridor. Further south, the confluence of the North Fork and South Fork feeds the main river system, while the eastern reaches are defined by the headwaters of Boulder Creek. This map documents a wilderness landscape largely devoid of permanent settlement, where survival and travel were dictated by the seasonal patterns of the rivers and the harsh Arctic climate.
