2017 Map of Blying Sound D-7 SE

About this map

Rugged Island and its prominent sheltering Marys Bay dominate the coastal topography of this maritime corridor. Situated within the Kenai Peninsula Borough, the map highlights the interface between the rocky coastline and the open Pacific Ocean. This 2017 survey documents the transit routes through the sound, most notably the Alaska Marine Hwy as it passes between the mainland and the offshore islands. To the east, the steep terrain of Cape Resurrection and the isolated Barwell Island mark critical landmarks for navigation. The map's detail focuses on the bathymetry and elevation of these uninhabited landmasses, providing a clear record of the area's natural state and the primary marine thoroughfares used by travelers and commercial vessels in the early twenty-first century.
