1950 Map of Teller C-7

About this map

Wales sits at the westernmost tip of the American mainland, a critical point where the Bering Strait meets the Seward Peninsula. This 1950 coastal survey documents the community at a time when traditional transportation and early modern infrastructure coexisted. Navigation across the treacherous waters and marshy tundra is evidenced by a network of seasonal routes, including a Winter Trail, a Tractor Trail, and the Village Creek Trail.
