1946 Map of Blying Sound

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Kenai Mountains dominate this 1940s reconnaissance, a landscape defined by massive ice flows and deep glacial fjords. The Harding Ice Field feeds numerous named glaciers including the Aialik Glacier, Bear Glacier, and Holgate Glacier, which carve into the complex coastline of Aialik Bay and Resurrection Bay. This period of surveying captures the shoreline before later 20th-century shifts, showing the intricate relationship between the mountainous Aialik Peninsula and the open Blying Sound.
