1953 Map of Cordova A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Controller Bay and the vast tidal mudflats of the Alaska coast dominate this early 1950s survey. The landscape is defined by the heavy glacial drainage of the Bering River and Nichawak River, which feed into a complex network of sloughs and channels. On the mainland, the settlement of Chilkat and an abandoned Cannery speak to the region's historical reliance on the sea. The map details a wild, changing coastline where the Okalee R meets the Gulf of Alaska behind the protective barrier of Okalee Spit.
