1953 Map of Cordova B-7

About this map

Hinchinbrook Island and Hawkins Island dominate this coastal survey of the Prince William Sound approaches, where the open Gulf of Alaska meets protected inlets. On the western shore of the larger island, Port Etches provides a deep-water indentation leading into Constantine Harbor, marked by Phipps Pt and Pt Horn. This maritime landscape, entirely within the Chugach National Forest, was mapped using 1950 aerial photography to detail the complex shoreline and steep topography. Navigation aids like the Light at Johnstone Point highlight the area's importance as a gateway to Orca Bay. Marine features such as Hawkins Cutoff and the mud flats near Anderson Bay illustrate the intricate tidal and channel systems that defined local passage before further modern development.
