1946 Map of Blying Sound

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Kenai Mountains meet the sea in this mid-century survey of the Kenai Peninsula coast, where the massive Harding Ice Field feeds a series of tidewater glaciers. The map details the complex shoreline of Resurrection Bay and Aialik Bay, documenting the positions of the Aialik Glacier, Pederson Glacier, and Holgate Glacier. To the east, the survey encompasses the entrance to Prince William Sound, including Montague Island and Latouche Island within the Chugach National Forest. This 1940s record of the coast preserves the original maritime nomenclature of the Gulf of Alaska before modern environmental shifts altered these ice fronts. It provides a foundational view of the region's geography, tracing the deep fjords and islands such as Granite Island and the Chiswell Is that define this glaciated maritime landscape.
