1951 Map of Teller

About this map

Wales and the northwestern tip of the Seward Peninsula stand at the meeting point of the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea in this mid-century reconnaissance. The mapping illustrates a strategic and remote landscape defined by the U.S. - Russia Convention of 1867 boundary line, which runs between Big Diomede Island and Little Diomede Island. Coastal life is centered around Grantley Harbor and the community of Teller, while the interior reveals the remnants of earlier mining and settlement activity at York and Bering.
