1953 Map of Blying Sound D-3

About this map

Latouche Island and the southwestern reaches of Montague Island dominate this coastal survey of the Kenai Peninsula region. At the time of this 1953 field annotation, the landscape remains largely defined by its maritime geography and isolated outposts like Cloud Cabin and a lone Cabin near Point Woodcock. The rugged interior is marked by significant elevations including Latouche Peak and Stair Mountain, while the jagged coastline is broken by sheltered waters such as Mac Leod Harbor and San Juan Bay. The presence of the Chugach National Forest underscores the protected, wild character of these islands. Navigational landmarks like the Light on Evans Island and the southern sentinel of Cape Cleare provide essential reference points for vessels traversing the Gulf of Alaska and the deep channels of Montague Strait.
