1952 Map of Unalakleet C-5

About this map

Golsovia sits at the confluence of the Golsovia River and the eastern reaches of Norton Sound, serving as a focal point for this mid-century coastal survey. The map details a landscape where seasonal travel was vital, evidenced by the Winter Trail (Approximate) that skirts the shoreline near Black Pt and Black Cove. Inset details highlight the significance of maritime navigation in the Sound, specifically the position of the Egg Island Light on Egg Island. This 1950s documentation, compiled from Army Map Service data and aerial photography, captures the remote coastal infrastructure and drainage patterns of the region, including smaller tributaries like Shorty Creek and Pontahtule Cr as they meet the Bering Sea at points such as Shorty Cove and Tolstoi Pt.
