1951 Map of Blying Sound D-1 and D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Montague Island dominates this 1950s coastal survey, showcasing a shoreline defined by deep inlets and sediment-heavy river systems. The eastern coast is punctuated by the significant waters of Patton Bay, where the Patton River and Nellie Martin River discharge into the sea. Evidence of seasonal or specialized activity is found in the scattered Cabins located near the river mouths and along the bay shores. The map captures the complex geography of the Kenai Peninsula's outer islands before major modern changes, including the notable Wooded Islands and the exposed southern tip at Cape Cleare. The drainage patterns of Braided Creek and Tortuous Creek illustrate the active glacial and alluvial processes shaping this landscape between the Gulf of Alaska and Montague Strait.
