1951 Map of Blying Sound D-8

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Harding Icefield dominates the western interior of this coastal terrain, where massive rivers of ice descend through the Kenai Mountains toward the sea. This 1951 survey, based on 1950 aerial photography, documents the active glacial interface of the Kenai Peninsula before mid-century environmental shifts. The map illustrates a complex coastline defined by deep fjords and maritime hazards, featuring prominent ice-flows like the Bear Glacier and Holgate Glacier.
