1953 Map of Blying Sound D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Latouche Island and Montague Island dominate this coastal survey of the Kenai Peninsula region, showing the maritime landscape as it was documented in the early 1950s. The topographic detail captures the dramatic rise of the shoreline, from the heights of Latouche Peak to the prominent peak of Stair Mountain on southern Montague. These islands are separated by the wide expanse of Montague Strait, a critical passage for vessels moving from the Gulf of Alaska toward Prince William Sound. The survey highlights several protected maritime features, including the deep indentation of Mac Leod Harbor and the sheltered waters of Montgomery Bay. While primarily a study of terrain and hydrography, the map records administrative boundaries for the Chugach National Forest and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, marking a period of transition in the management of Alaska's coastal wilderness.
