  Originally used more as incentive than a reference tool, a rare map from 1899 has been added to the Rasmuson Library’s collection. The map shows gold fields located at Cape Nome, Cape York and Bonanza Mining District. It originally was sold by the Nome Map Co. for 50 cents. In 2009, the region is known as the southern half of the Seward Peninsula and the library purchased the map for $8,500.
