About this map

Cordova sits at the junction of Prince William Sound's intricate waterways, serving as a critical coastal hub during the early 1950s. The settlement is defined by its proximity to Odiak Channel and the Copper River Highway, reflecting a landscape tied to both the sea and the interior. Notable infrastructure includes the Seaplane Base on the waterfront and the Eyak Cannery situated near the mouth of Eyak Lake, signaling the importance of the local fishing industry and regional aviation. This survey highlights the complex maritime geography of The Narrows and Orca Bay, where features like Fleming Spit and Shipyard Bay suggest a history of maritime repair and transport. Inland, the Heney Range rises sharply above Eccles Lagoon, illustrating the narrow habitable corridor between the Chugach mountains and the gulf.
