1950 Map of Cordova A-1

About this map

The Bering River and Campbell River dominate this coastal landscape as they flow toward the expansive Controller Bay. This mid-century survey, revised with 1980s data, documents the intricate hydrology of the Chugach National Forest shoreline, where the Don Miller Hills meet the sea. The map reveals small coastal outposts like Chilkat, Ber, and Soma, providing evidence of mid-century settlement patterns in this remote region of Alaska. To the south, the protective Okalee Spit and the distinctive Kanak Island buffer the bay from the Gulf of Alaska. The presence of small labels such as Fitz, Harris, and Oke near the tidal flats suggests isolated camps or historical landings essential for early 20th-century coastal navigation and resource access before the implementation of modern land management boundaries.
