1950 Map of Teller C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Continental Divide cuts a striking path through this high-latitude terrain, separating the northern coastal plains from the rising peaks of the York Mountains. To the north, the Mint River and Yankee River meander toward the Lopp Lagoon, creating a network of drainage basins that characterize the Seward Peninsula's subarctic landscape. This 1950 survey, mapped by the Army Map Service, documents a region defined by its isolation and topographical complexity. A lone Landing Strip serves as the primary connection to the outside world, situated near the confluence of Whitehorse Creek and Tapioca Cr. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways named by early prospectors and explorers, including Skookum Creek, Ophir Creek, and Mariposa Cr. The presence of Brooks Mountain in the southeast dominates the horizon, marking the rugged transition toward the Lost River valley.
