1952 Map of Blying Sound D-4

About this map

Elrington Island and the neighboring Evans Island anchor this 1952 maritime survey where the Kenai Peninsula meets the open sea. This coastal landscape within the Chugach National Forest is defined by deep-water passages and protective inlets, including the sheltered waters of Goat Harbor and the dual indentations of North Twin Bay and South Twin Bay. The strategic maritime importance of the area is noted by the designated Lighthouse Reserve locations at Pt Elrington and Lonetree Pt, marking the critical turn from the Gulf of Alaska into the inner reaches of Port Bainbridge.
