1952 Map of Unalakleet C-5

About this map

Norton Sound dominates this mid-century topographic survey of the Alaska coastline, revealing a remote landscape where travel was dictated by the seasons. The settlement of Golsovia sits near the mouth of the Golsovia River, serving as a vital waypoint along a Winter Trail that traced the rugged shoreline. This network of trails and coastal markers reflects the traditional transit routes used before modern infrastructure reached this part of the Nome region.
