1952 Map of Unalakleet C-4

About this map

Norton Sound defines the western edge of this coastal landscape, where the tides meet a network of intricate drainages and seasonal routes. The interior is dominated by the South Fork Unalakleet River and the Chiroskey River, which snake through the territory toward the coast. Of particular interest to historical researchers is the Winter Trail, which provides a window into the traditional transportation corridors used when the ground was frozen, long before modern infrastructure reached this part of the Seward Peninsula region.
