1951 Map of Blying Sound D-7

About this map

Bear Glacier dominates the northwestern landscape of this coastal survey, its massive ice field calving into the waters of Resurrection Bay. The map records a complex maritime environment at the southern edge of the Kenai Peninsula Borough, where deep glacial fjords like Three Hole Bay and Agnes Cove carve into the Aialik Peninsula. This mid-century record captures the transition of these coastal lands toward protected status, specifically noting the Caines Head State Recreation Area and its strategic position overlooking the primary shipping lanes.
