1950 Map of Cordova C-7

About this map

Port Gravina and the northern reaches of Orca Bay dominate this coastal survey, where the intricate shoreline of Prince William Sound meets the dense timber of the Chugach National Forest. The map documents a maritime landscape defined by its deep inlets and hazardous shoals as they were charted in the mid-20th century. Notable coastal features like Two Moon Bay and St Matthews Bay provide natural harbors, while the jagged coastline is marked by landmarks such as Knowles Head and Red Head. In the southeast, the tip of Hawkins Island appears near Makaka Pt, separated from the mainland by the sweeping waters of the sound. This 1950s data highlights the region's reliance on water navigation, as no roads or trails appear on the rugged landmasses, leaving the topography to dictate the character of this maritime wilderness.
