1953 Map of Blying Sound D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Montague Island dominates this maritime survey of the southern Kenai Peninsula coast, where the waters of the Gulf of Alaska meet the Prince William Sound entryway. The map illustrates a remote, coastal landscape within the Chugach National Forest before widespread modern development, marked only by isolated outposts like Cloud Cabin and a lone Cabin near Point Woodcock. The importance of seafaring navigation is evident in the detailed soundings and named coastal hazards like Danger Island. The interior terrain of Latouche Island is defined by the prominent Latouche Peak, while the southern tip of Montague Island rises to Stair Mountain before terminating at Cape Cleare. These landmarks, along with sheltered waters like Mac Leod Harbor and San Juan Bay, provide an essential look at the mid-century wilderness and maritime geography of this Alaska-Third Judicial Division quadrangle.
