1950 Map of Cordova A-2

About this map

Katalla and its surrounding coastal industrial landscape appear here in a state of transition during the mid-20th century. This area of the Chugach National Forest was the site of Alaska's first oil production, and the map captures the remnants of that era, including the Katalla Oil Field and a nearby Oil Refinery. An Old Railroad Grade winds along the coast and through the foothills of Ragged Mountain, providing a trace of the transportation network once used to move resources toward Katalla Bay.
