1950 Map of Teller D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The remote coastline along the Arctic Ocean northwest of Nome is defined by the narrow sandspits and barrier islands that separate the sea from the expansive Lopp Lagoon. This mid-century survey reveals a seasonal landscape tied to subsistence and travel, marked by the presence of a Winter Trail running parallel to the shore. Small coastal points and seasonal sites like Sin-i-Rock and Ah-Gude Le-Rock highlight the sparse but significant human presence in this high-latitude environment. To the north and east, the lagoon system is punctuated by small settlements such as Mitletukeruk and Mit-Le-Topik. The offshore waters are dominated by the Prince of Wales Shoal, a major underwater feature that dictated maritime navigation in the Seward Peninsula region during this era. An Emergency Landing Strip located near the lagoon shore provides a clear indication of the area's strategic and logistical importance in the post-war period.
