1953 Map of Blying Sound

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Kenai Mountains dominate this mid-century coastal landscape, where the massive Harding Icefield feeds a series of tidewater and terrestrial glaciers. This survey illustrates the intricate coastline of the Kenai Peninsula Borough during the early 1950s, documenting the reach of the Aialik Glacier, Bear Glacier, and Holgate Glacier before decades of retreat. The maritime geography is defined by deep inlets like Resurrection Bay and Day Harbor, which provided essential shelter for vessels navigating the Gulf of Alaska.
