1950 Map of Teller C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Tin City stands at the base of Cape Mountain on the westernmost reaches of the Seward Peninsula, serving as a critical point of human activity in this coastal landscape. The 1950 aerial photography reveals a specialized industrial and transportation footprint, including Mill Sites, a Mine, and the Tin City Airstrip. The terrain is dominated by the York Mountains and high peaks like Potato Mountain, with drainage provided by the Anikovik River and numerous creeks such as Goodwin Creek and Sutter Creek. Between the high ground and the Arctic Ocean lies the expansive Lopp Lagoon, separated by a narrow spit. Transportation through this region is defined by a Winter Trail and a Tractor Trail, reflecting the necessity of seasonal routes in a landscape where traditional roads are absent.
