1950 Map of Cordova C-7

About this map

The maritime landscape of the northern Prince William Sound reveals itself through deep inlets and complex coastal features within the Chugach National Forest. The 1950 shoreline is defined by the expansive waters of Port Gravina and Orca Bay, providing a detailed look at the hydrography of the region before modern changes. Navigation aids like the Gravina Pt Light mark the treacherous passage near Gravina Rocks, while the curiously named Hells Hole and Snug Corner Cove suggest the varied experiences of early coastal explorers and mariners. To the south, the northern tip of Hawkins Island appears with Makaka Point overlooking the shifting sands of the Middle Ground Shoal. This survey captures the rugged isolation of the Alaska coast, where land meets sea at prominent landmarks like Knowles Head and Red Head.
