1950 Map of Teller D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Ikpek sits at the edge of the Arctic Ocean, a focal point in a landscape defined by the shallow waters of the Seward Peninsula's northwestern coast. Surveyed through photogrammetric methods in 1950, this map reveals a complex network of coastal lagoons, including Ikpek Lagoon and Lopp Lagoon, separated from the sea by narrow barrier spits. A prominent Winter Trail follows these coastlines, providing a vital transport corridor across the tundra. The interior is a mosaic of small lakes and marshes drained by the Pinguk River and York Creek. A single Tower near the coast indicates one of the few structural landmarks in this remote maritime environment, marking a period when aerial mapping began to fully document the intricacies of the Alaskan shoreline.
