1953 Map of Cordova C-6

About this map

Parshas stands as the primary named settlement on this coastal survey, situated along the complex shoreline of Port Gravina. The map details the intricate maritime geography of Prince William Sound, where deep inlets and narrow passages define the relationship between the sea and the Chugach National Forest. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the northern reaches of Hawkins Island, separated from the mainland by the winding waters of Canoe Passage. Nautical researchers will find significant depth soundings throughout Orca Bay and Sheep Bay, alongside specific navigation hazards like Gatherer Rock and Bomb Pt. The survey also documents numerous triangulation stations, marked as VABM points, which provided the essential control for mapping this portion of the Alaska judicial division during the early 1950s.
