1952 Map of Blying Sound C-7

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Aialik Peninsula marks the rugged coastline of the Kenai Peninsula in this mid-century hydrographic and topographic study. As the land meets the Gulf of Alaska, the map reveals a complex system of deep-water coves and exposed headlands, including Pony Cove, Chat Cove, and the prominent Aialik Cape. The bathymetry of Blying Sound is detailed with soundings and depth curves, illustrating the transition from the sheltered waters of Three Hole Bay and Cliff Bay to the open Pacific Ocean. Farther offshore, the Chiswell Islands chain is mapped in detail, showing the distinct profiles of Natoa Island, Matushka Island, and the precarious Beehive Island. Navigational landmarks like Pilot Rock and the remote Seal Rocks highlight the maritime character of this region during the early 1950s.
