1950 Map of Cordova B-7

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The shoreline of Hinchinbrook Island and the neighboring Hawkins Island dominate this coastal survey, where the waters of Orca Bay meet the open Gulf of Alaska. The interior terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including Anderson Creek and Hunker Creek, while the southwestern tip is designated as the Hinchinbrook Lighthouse Reserve. Early settlement patterns are visible at the village of Nuchek on the shore of Constantine Harbor and the smaller outpost at Garden near Garden Cove. These sites reflect the region's historic maritime dependence and the strategic importance of protected anchorages like Port Etches for navigation and fishing at the entrance to Prince William Sound.
