1950 Map of Cordova B-7

About this map

Hinchinbrook Island and Hawkins Island dominate this coastal survey, situated where the Gulf of Alaska meets the protected waters of Orca Bay. The map documents a maritime landscape of strategic importance, anchored by the Johnstone Light at Johnstone Pt and the expansive Hinchinbrook Lighthouse Reserve to the south. Small outposts of human activity are visible at the Landing Strip near Anders and a lonely Cabin on the northern coast, while the settlement of Nuchek sits overlooking the sheltered waters of Constantine Harbor. The interior terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages like Bear Creek and Dan Creek, flowing through the Chugach National Forest. Navigational features such as the Hawkins Island Cutoff and various rocky hazards like Loon Rock illustrate the maritime reliance of this Prince William Sound environment during the mid-century era.
