1951 Map of Blying Sound D-8

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The Harding Icefield dominates this 1950s study of the Kenai Peninsula, where massive glaciers carve deep into the Alaskan coastline. The landscape is defined by the slow movement of the Aialik Glacier and Holgate Glacier as they descend from the high Kenai Mountains toward the sea. This survey predates the formal establishment of the modern park boundaries shown in the 1990s revision, capturing the untouched maritime wilderness and glacial terminus points of the mid-century.
