1950 Map of Teller D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Ear Mountain dominates the center of this terrain, a prominent landmark in the Seward Peninsula north of the Seward settlement area during the mid-century. Mapping from aerial photography taken by the Army Map Service reveals a landscape defined by seasonal transit and mineral exploration, evidenced by the Winter Trail cutting through the northeast and the presence of a lone Cabin on the mountain's northern slope. The intricate drainage network of the Kugrupaga River and Arctic River is documented in detail, showing numerous small tributaries like Idaho Gulch, Dinsmore Cr, and Quartz Creek that historically drew prospectors to this remote region of Alaska. These watercourses and their respective valleys represent the primary corridors for movement across the unfield-checked territory, capturing the area as it appeared just before the territory achieved statehood.
