1953 Map of Blying Sound D-7

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Bear Glacier dominates the northwestern edge of this coastal survey, where its massive ice field is marked by numerous crevasses as it reaches toward the Aialik Peninsula. The map details the complex maritime geography of the Kenai Peninsula in the early 1950s, centering on the deep waters of Resurrection Bay and the Harding Gateway. Marine navigation is a clear focus, with a lighthouse noted at Caines Head and a dock situated in Marys Bay on Rugged Island. The coastline is a series of sheltered inlets such as Bulldog Cove, Sunny Cove, and Paradise Cove, illustrating the primary reliance on waterborne transport and seasonal coastal activity. Inland, the high-relief terrain of the Resurrection Peninsula rises sharply, punctuated by Porcupine Glacier and Humpy Cove along the eastern shoreline.
